happened to me about 2yrs ago, my cousin threw a couple of bunnys in the back footwell knocking the lamp on, it melted a hole in my carry bag but the lamp was fine as the lens was glass and the reflector was of metal componant, i was half way home and was like "what the f**k is that smell? dug have you farted!!??!!" wasnt until it had melted through the bag and it lit up the inside of the motor that i found out,
