The headlight motor (actually a Jag windshield- wiper motor) is designed to be un-grounded. But its wired such that the case would be 'hot' except for a tiny complex bakelite separator on the bottom, that keeps the thing electrically isolated. Until the separator delaminates... The fix I used is to delete entirely the plastic separator, hook the wires up as stock and tie-wrap the hot wire so it can't touch any metal. Why they did it the way the thing was OEM, I have no idea...All the separator is, is a convenient wire anchor. Water & road-slop gets in there and suddenly, you've got smoke!
