Wire connector melted!
So I decided to order some Nokya yellow 9006 bulbs for my fog lights about 5 months ago... Last week one of them went out so I ordered a new set. After putting the new bulb in I realized that my connector is melted! Anyone with similar problem and what can I do about this?

That's happened to me too, twice. I had my tech co-worker repair the wiring. Now I have been using the 3000k HIDs.
If you do purchase a new set, make sure to get the 55w ones. The ones that caused mine to melt was the 70w nokya bulbs.

buy these. cut off old connectors, strip wires, solder/crimp and put heat shrink tubing/electrical tape.
clean connectors with electronics cleaner then apply dielectric grease on connector and then connect the bulbs.
