It's possible that your rectifier/regulator has gone ...you'll find it under your seat & mounted to the frame ....( about the size of a box of matches with fins on it ) .... Check & clean the wires that go into it & spray a Lille WD40 around the terminals .... You may be able to check it's working properly with a multimeter .... They aren't expensive to replace if it's gone.

Yes, check your connections to the Regulator, if its bad, or not connected, you can blow bulbs at high rpm.
