You're fast tonight, Grunff :) How about I swap the bulbs? If I see the same problem on the other side afterwards then ... The bulb is not broken, hence I started to measure things with my multimeter on the left side and then the right for comparison. I get the same kind of readings, just the LHS is faster. I'll try a bulb swap tomorrow and inspect all the other bulbs. Are you saying that a bulb other than the repeater can cause this problem? Thanks for the reply.
