New to the D3 scene but have always read the posts anyway. Mine has the same fault, but has only happened three times since I got it at the start of February. I'm sure I've read somewhere that the reason for the fault occurring was due to the wiring being too short to the light and that the movement caused the wires to fracture.

I'd be interested to hear of anyone has ever changed that particular bulb as the yellowish colour looks cheap compared to the whiter headlights. Too cold, no garage and no patience at the moment to even look at it.
