Hope they aren't having you over a barrell for the sake of a bulb! regularly blowing bulbs may be down to an alternator overcharging its control unit on it's way out could also be poor earths.

I had the same problem a few months ago. The entire unit needs replacing and bonding in, rather like a new windscreen.

The total repair price was £168 plus vat at a main dealer. Incidentally I have a warranty direct extended warranty which covered the repair as it was failure of a unit rather than bulb failure!
