Has anyone else had this happen to them? The passenger side Headlamp connector is melting. I think it's getting poor connectivity because it doesn't require much effort to disconnect it from the bulb. The headlight has been going out on me, and a quick fix has been to pop the hood and position the wire harness. This usually gets me to work and back. I know that letting this continue will cause some damage. Either the wires will melt to poor connectivity or it could cause a fire. I would like to avoid this.
The driver side is having a similar problem, but it seems that the passenger side is worse. I have an aftermarket "pigtail" to put on. However, it being a generic part has the following downfalls
It is a lot harder to separate, so when it's time to replace the bulb, this will be a problem.
The wires seem awfully inadequate (under sized).
Here is a picture.
