I had a light bulb filament blow one time, in a way where the remaining piece of filament miraculously shorted out to a metal piece of the bulb base. so whenever that circuit was activated the fuse blew.

Because that rotten bulb would blow the fuse whenever the circuit was active, I couldn't just see which bulb was "out"; I had to remove every bulb and inspect closely one at a time.



RANT:
Of course I discovered this little issue at 5 a.m. in the winter time at a gas station when leaving town for a special weekend getaway with my lady sitting patiently in the passenger seat insisting she wasn't mad, meanwhile, I was blowing every extra fuse I had to try and resolve the issue, because it was still pitch black outside and we apparently were driving with no running/brake lights in the back.
Thanks for listening lol
