=====================

If you install a halogen lamp but don't tighten it in place properly, it
won't get the cooling it requires. I kept blowing left headlamps in my
Caravan because previous owner had lost the locking collar, which holds
the base of the lamp intimate on the body of the lamp housing.

If you've put the bulb in with the base not sitting flat against the
mating surface, it won't dissipate heat and will burn out way too soon.
I think there's only one way for the notch in the base to align with
place it fits into...
