My scariest moment. Our S3 Land Rover started weeping petrol slightly from the boss where the petrol tank drain plug fits. It was a very small leak, barely enough to show dampness, but I decided to drain the little fuel from the tank pending having a new tank fitted. I was expecting a visitor so asked my wife to direct him to the garage when he arrived.
I plugged in my lead-lamp, crawled underneath with tools and bucket, clamped the lamp to the chassis rail, and started to drain the petrol. At this point the side-door of the garage open, and the visitor arrived. He walked along the side of the LR - and tripped over the cable. The lead-lamp was dislodged and fell to the floor with a crash and a 'pop' as the bulb exploded. A very lucky escape indeed.

ah you found the head/car interface is a "needs Paracetamol" hidden gem of those lights as well.
i Like sealed LED light units, they require less Paracetamol
