Default One of my AUX lights committed suicide before being replaced.

So I bought a Trucklite Phase 7 from a member here and went to install it. Taped out some positions on the garage door to measure where the current lights hit so I can adjust the Trucklights.. I replace the main headlight with the Phase 7, works fine.. Then started turning the aux lights on and off to get a position for them.. After about 5 times something didn't look right, the right side was lighter than the left..

Walk in front of the bike.. left light is out.. WTF.. did I pinch a wire? So I pulled the left aux light out and took a look at it.. Filament broke.. Its like it knew it was going to be replaced so it took its own life in protest.

Better not start thinking about replacing the engine!

See now that a good light. He committed sepiku (spelling) as he knew he was worthless and an embarrassment.
