Indicator problem?

The drivers side front and rear indicators arent working... the side repeater is working, but not the front and back.
Could it just be bulbs (seems strange that 2 would have gone at the same time) or could something else, a relay perhaps have gone?

Sorted mine out, also check the fuses are the correct rating.

the one that was in it, blew, then i put another in, which worked fine for a few seconds then blew?
Any ideas why this might be?

Or you put the wrong grade of bulb in! Should be a P21 (pear 21watt).

Either you are fitting the wrong type of bulb, your battery voltage is too high due to a faulty alternator ( most unlikely) or you were just unlucky and fitted a bulb that had a life of 5 seconds !!

And im sure i didnt get 2 bulbs with 5 seconds of life?!
Im going for the road dirt, water or something in there perhaps causing problems?

But it cannot be a road dirt problem if the bulb is actually blowing
The only effect that road dirt can have is to provide a low resistance path to earth on a particular buld and the result of this would be to blow the fuse.
The effect (if any) that road dirt would have on the bulb is to reduce the voltage that it 'sees' and therefore increase its life
Are you sure that the bulb is actually blowing ?

Definately blowing... its taking the orangy paint off at the same time :SI agree that the voltage being high wpuld most likely affect all your bulbs
