Make sure all the contacts in the wiring are connected properly, as well as the bulb holder.

it's either the circuit breaker or the switch that causes this problem not the lights themselves

the circuit breaker tripping was a big problem in eseries cars, moreso if people had higher wattage than standard globes (they're not designed for the load).

not sure if the au's have the same setup, but your problem sounds exactly the same as the eseries circuit breaker problem
