New to this site so bear with me.

This could be a coincidence, but I'm sure someone here will enlighten me.

About a month ago my Daughters Car , her 206 was mis-firing when she started it in the morning and I noticed she had a headlight out. So, I replaced it and the mis-firing went away.

Two days ago the bulb on the other headlight blew and it mis-fired again !!!

Could some voltage drop be creating a potential hidden fault, also the EML light came on both times, but cleared after I changed the bulb.

Any Ideas ?

Welcome to the site. Year and model of car can often be useful when asking electrical questions. There are two types of electrical system pre-plex (before October 2001) and multi-plexed (post October 2001).

Also are you running standard headlamps, either frosted or crystals, or some aftermarket s***ty things with HIDs in?

It is a 1.4 petrol, 2004 model with standard headlights and bulbs.

In answer to V9977, the battery is 18 months old and in good condition.
