What is your bus getting for Christmas?

DRT,

I'm jealous, wish you would come teach me how to rebuild mine!

Just picked up my reworked heads and dropped them off with my mechanic.

Well, mine received 3 brand spanking new Halogen headlights tonight! 

And I learned something... headlights burn out at the speed of light! 

One was already blown on the high beam, and I had forgotten I needed to replace it.

The other two were mechanical error... or rather operator stupidity...

I don't fully understand it, and will be studying the schematics to see why it happened.

I forgot to hook up the 12v tap on the batteries when I was working on them this fall.  I had left the headlight switch on the last time
I shut off the bus, and when I flipped the master switch on tonight, I saw one go.  Bright 24v flash!
That wasn't good enough. Stupid me had to hit the dimmer switch and take out one of the high beams, too! 

Again, I don't understand why not having the 12v tap would cause this. Somehow it must be providing a ground for the 24v side of the
series connected bulbs. Will have to see if I can figure this one out so I can figure out a way to prevent it from happening again.
