So I was out on the road, about a mile a a half away, just after dark, when I hit a small bump and the lights flashed and I lost the two head lamps and the tail lamp all at once. God I'm having more troubles with this car!. Any how, anyone know of a chronic Mod A light system burnout problem? It wasn't a big bump! Lotsa fun driving in the dark, with no lights and no streetlights with a black car!

My guess is that the bump interrupted an electrical connection allowing the voltage from the generator to spike, thus blowing the lights. Try checking all of the connections on both sides of the battery from generator to earth.
