86 4000q with no headlights

[chris franz]

hey all,
   Here's the situation.    My quattro has no headlights.    First the left
one went out and I thought that it just died but then the other one went out
too.      So my first thought was that the switch went out and I went
searching and found nothing.    Then I checked the headlight itself.    The
ground wire on both headlights is completely fried.    The plastic is all
burned and warped.    What would possibly cause this.    I'm going to
replace the headlight assembly to remedy the problem but I would like to
figure out the reason for this so that it doesn't happen again.    Pretty
scary to think that my headlights equally started to burn up.    Looks as
though they were close to catching fire.   Scary.   Well, any help would be
greatly appreciated.     Thanks in advance.
