I pulled the lights on to make sure it was working before I secured it back into the housing. It slipped out of my hand and the prongs grounded out on the edge of the headlight bucket. All the lights went out and I had a waff of smoke where it touched. I can’t see any wires burned into, but I can’t get ANY of the lights to work.
Any ideas or suggestions?
