dodgy earth, faulty connection in the light unit? not an expert on the matter, i blew a fuse when wiring a light to the bike, accidently touched the wires, replaced it and it was fine.

Fuse blowing = excessive current being drawn.

This will be due to either a short circuit or fitting a bulb(s) with too high a wattage.
