Never done this before but uing my noggin and knowledge of how a switch works could you not just short out the constant live with a peice of wire onto the contact that switches the lights on, if they come on then you know its the switch, if it doesnt the the problem lies elsewhere?

Blew 4 bulbs in 1 week :shocked:

Did they all blow at the same time? If they didnt it sounds a bit suspect.
