Have a weird problem..

ummmmmm put an inline fuse going to each bulb, that way the fuse will blow before the bulb and it will be cheaper to replace fuses vs. bulbs.

What's this dumdum stuff? Never heard of it...

its the tar ooking stuff aroundyour evaporator box. it seals the ac evaporator . it come in flat rools and is very squishy. i used to seal ported spealer boxes with it.

That gives me an idea! I could use that stuff or possible some of that insulation strips they use around windows.. Put it between the body pannel and the housing.. might cut out some of the vibes..

Ladiesman: The fuse idea won't work. The lightbulb blows because the filament is red-hot and weak.. otherwise it'd handle the vibes. The fuse won't get hot..

Something else I wanted to mention to you guys: These bulbs are dual filament bulbs. The driving lights run off the small filament.. the brake and signal lights use the larger filament. It's only the larger filament that's blowing. I'm guessing because it's longer and moves more with the vibrations.

It's all on 1 battery.. Optima Yellow Top.

I'm curious as to why you think I need another battery. Low voltage won't burn out a light... and I doubt that I'm getting any voltage spikes (past 15V anyway). I have a voltmeter mounted in the car.. and yes the voltage will drop as low as 10.5V during a good long bass beat.. but it never seems to go above 14.4V.

I also have a 1 Farad Stiffening cap in there to help smooth out voltages..

Oh...I glanced at you first post and saw "lights burn out when bass hits" so I assumed it was b/c of the total wattage being ran and was too much for your primary power source causing the lights to burn out! Ooops...I'll read a lil slower next time!

I like the idea of insulating around the lights to draw back some of the vibrations, should work just fine!
