Ok, now I understand what you mean. But if that were to happen the engine would stop running as well because there would be nog ignition right? I don't recall this happening.

With disconnecting the light switch I mean the switch on the bottom of the steering column. I accidentaly removed the bracket when working on the carburator and the switch fell off. After putting it back all bulbs were blown.
I understand your reluctance to this (probably) being the cause as a "shorting" during (dis)connecting of the switch would turn on the lights and not blow them but nothing else happened (as far as I know) between the time the lights were working and the time they weren't.
