I have a 2021 United Bravo, and I’ve already replaced the headlight bulbs twice in the past six months. The bulbs work fine for a few weeks, then su

My 2019 United Bravo’s rear brake and tail light bulbs burn out every couple of months. I’ve tried both local and imported bulbs, but the problem keeps coming back. A mechanic told me it might be due to loose bulb sockets o r bad grounding in the wiring. Has anyone faced the same issue? I’m looking for an economical solution that will last — should I replace the entire light assembly o r just fix the wiring? Any suggestions o r workshop recommendations in Lahore o r Karachi would be appreciated.

Frequent headlight bulb burnout is a common problem with the United Bravo, usually caused by electrical o r fitting issues rather than the bulbs themselves.

Common causes and solutions:

Voltage Fluctuations:

Many Bravo owners experience unstable voltage from the alternator, which can shorten bulb life.

Economical fix: Test the battery and alternator. Replacing a weak battery Rs. 5,000–6,000 is cheaper than repeatedly buying bulbs.

Poor Bulb Fitment:

Loose connections o r touching the glass with fingers can cause hotspots and burnouts.

Fix: Always handle bulbs by the base and ensure the socket is tight.

Wiring Issues:

Corroded connectors o r poor grounding increase resistance and heat, burning the bulb.

Fix: Clean the bulb sockets and check ground wires. Often costs under Rs. 500 for DIY cleaning o r Rs. 800–1,000 in a local workshop.

💡 Economy Tip: Start by checking fitment and cleaning sockets before buying new bulbs. Use quality halogen bulbs instead of cheap local ones — they last longer and save repeated replacement costs.
