The fuse is fine, I checked for loose wires and really couldn't find anything, but I just bought a new bulb yesterday drove around for a day and come home today and find out the headlight blew...

Anyone have similar experiences in their s14?

The fuse is not blowing its perfect.

The bulb which is a $10.99 bulb explodes.

Uh, I did touch it with my finger.

if you touch the blubs with your fingers the oils on your fingers will cause Hot spots on the bulb and will some times cause the blub to pop.
