Default Headlight issue

Was out riding this morning and looked down and my 'high beam' indicator light was on, the high beams were not on, flipping the switch did nothing. So, stopped the bike and looked, headlight was not working, so I looked at the fuses and all were fine. Came on home and popped the headlight out of the housing and the ground on the headlight socket was melted and had no continuity. I assume it was arching or it had some oxidation causing resistance. Went to Autozone and found a high temp heavy duty socket and installed it, everything works fine now.
