Answer
Hi Eric,

interesting problem since I recently had electrical woes and had to run to LR for service.

Its possible you hava voltage reg problem but have you checked the components themselves?  How old is your vehicle?  Its possbile that the connectors are corroded and causing a short.   I've seen this more and more with my '95 Disco.  The wires are corroding with age and I've had to replace several bulbholders in the rear and one on the front sidemarker.  All due to corrosion and crossing connectors.

Best of luck,

JohnMc
