Here the same situation as in the above screenshot, but now with the bulbs / diode again connected. (mind you i run the MOSFET at 3Hz, 20% duty cycle, secondary cap is 230nF)
Instead of the 200V spike at MOSFET closure time we see no spike at all (yellow trace of the drain), see screenshot below. Measuring the current through the bulb / diode branch (see green trace, 100mA/Div.) shows a peak current at MOSFET closure time (the redirected spike) of about 133mA, so this will hardly light up a LED let alone an automotive bulb.
So i don't think the bulbs will light up any time soon in this setup.
EDIT: i changed the 2x series automotive 12V bulbs for a single power led (3V / 3W) and this one nicely blinks at 3Hz when the MOSFET closes.
