> Was adjusting the limit switches ,so had the car idling with the headlights on in my garage. A friend stops by and starts telling me about this neat trick to test my alternator. Since I was woking on the headlight door wiring ihad the battery cable loosened. 
> Next thing I know he pulls the battery cable off and my alternator starts cycling to max voltage. My headlights were flashing so bright that before I could hit the ignition switch both my headlights blew out. 
> He said " I never saw that before!"
