    Long story short: 5 position lights have burned in the past 18 months. 2 on one side and 3 on the other.

    Dealer says it's just a little bit of bad luck. I'm not convinced...

    Thoughts?

    Sorry if I've been unclear. I translated the term from Italian. For some reason I thought that it was used the same way in English.

    In any case, these are the lights I was referring to (how do you call them?):

    Oh, the park lights? :D:D

    They come on when you flick the light switch on once? :):)

    No issues with mine even after changing them to whiter items. Have you tried replacing the fuse that regulates this parking light? Sounds like they are getting a strong jolt that causes them to blow so often.
    On a sideline, I have also changed the main xenon bulbs to 6000k items compared to standard 4300k. Beam is now much whiter at night.

    I´ve had some of these problems on various brands of cars, but especially BMW.
    I solved this with "long life" replacements.

    Feel free to PM me if you want to go further in to this... :)
