A few weeks ago the near side DLR on my Yeti failed.

Went to ebay and bought a replacement bulb for £12.99.
This one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401324815990

Fitted it today (being careful, not touching the glass etc) and all worked fine, off I went. 15 minutes later I arrived where I was going, on starting the car again a few minutes later the bulb had failed again! Testing with multimeter confirms it's dead.

So, am I just unlucky to get a duff bulb - what chance the seller refunding/replacing?

Is that model of bulb just crap?

Is there something else wrong with the car causing the bulb the blow?

Thanks TB, yeah everything looks fine. They had me photo the bulb, submerge in water... then they dispatched a replacement.
