[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 438295, member: 434"] The out-at-the-same-time theory is predicated on bulbs reaching end of life near the same time. I personally have found it to be more like 20 or 30 operational hours. It's not that when one goes out it sends poison volts and kills the other one. ;) This would apply to a new bike and through the first cycle of bulbs...and subsequent cycles if they replaced both bulbs at the same time. If you get out of synch....like you clearly have with 140,000 miles and many bulbs.....then the theory wouldn't apply to your situation. ....unless you pushed the reset button and replaced both bulbs at the same time again. ...and this is IMO. I don't have the energy this Friday to try and find a link to bolster talking out of my ass. ;) [/QUOTE]
