Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My headlight went out recently, and I replaced it with an H7 bulb. The bulb below it is also an H7, so I replaced that one too. As soon as I drove the car, the directional was blinking really fast and I noticed my turn signal was no longer working. I replaced the turn signal bulb and that didn't solve the issue. Upon further investigation, I noticed that the headlamp enclosure has H7 marked near both Hi/Lo beam headlight sockets. But on the bottom socket, there's a black stamp that looks to show "H5" or "H6"...I can't quite make it out. These are completely different bulbs, from what I understand. I'm wondering if I shorted it out by using an H7. Has anyone run into this type of issue before? I've never tested electronic equipment before with a voltage meter, so I'm unfamiliar with that process. Any suggestions? Thanks guys!
