Now it hits me....

I put a new sealed beam headlight on my springer. And every bulb I installed smoked then went out, 3 if them to be exact. I asked everyone who knew anything about motorcycles I could what was going on with several different answers. Damn near fed up I asked an engineer at work and got a whole different approach. Then thot, well shit that makes sense. I bought Nos sealed beams, meaning they were old and had been sitting for who knows how long. Well they somehow lost there seal, inert gas, which allowed oxygen inside the light which allowed the filament to smoke and fry. Damn, those bulbs were $30 each!
