Default Both Light Bulbs Popped Out???

I just bought a new Grizzy 660 about 5 months ago. I was riding it in the yard and going pick it up. My lights came off. So I went take a look and both of the bulbs where in the light case. What's up with that?

Also, a month before my over-heating light and gear light keeps flickering on and off.
Does anyone have any of these problems?

Also, has anyone tryed the LED light bulbs? If so, how are they?

Well, this happened to me a long time ago on a 350 Raptor, and the culprit was that the headlights were being run on both high and low beams ( switch in the middle). They got so hot that the bulb blew off of the metal ring that holds it in place. That probably isn't what happened to you, since you say you are also having other wiring malfunctions, but it is worth taking a look at.

Ooh, I was running the lights in the middle a few times, and I think that I was before I picked it up. Thats got to be it.
(but it did make a better range of light in the middle)

Yeah I thought it lit everything up real well while I was on a ride one night until everything suddenly went black. If you have to, you can fix them. It took a little time, but I got the rings to go back on the base of the bulb, and suprisingly, they still worked. If not, the bulbs cost about $10 a piece. You live and you learn man
