New headlights bought from Rimmers. Slight differences in construction to the originals but largely like-for-like. Undoubtedly brighter than those replaced.

There are a lot of things that might have been the cause. The car's voltage from in the battery in damp air might have been enough.-----It's all supposition. Under normal conditions, working in the dry with dry hands the resistance of a human being skin is enough to prevent the electricity entering the body.-( 12volts from the battery. ) What really disrupts human cells is high voltage. Spark plug voltage is enough. It simply instantaneously boils the liquid in the cell. Amperage plays very little part in it.- A most apt Xmas smillie. As lightening hits a tree the liquid content of the trunk is instantly turned into high pressure steam and the trunk simply explodes.---- PS.---Voltage is PRESSURE.---Amperage is QUANTITY.------Without voltage amperage doesn't go anywhere.

Yes it is the current that does the (fatal) damage. Don't take electrical instruction from someone that doesn't know what they're talking about..... e.g. Quote:
