| Description of the problem | Multiple low beam headlamp harness plugs have melted. Other running light plugs have also shown heat damage and caused the light to fail to work. Bulbs are not failing but the receptacle/plug where they connect to the vehicle shows heat damage and melting until the light looses connection. I have replaced both low beam headlight plugs already and am getting ready to replace them again. This bulb/plug design probably affects other models and probably other manufacturers too. |
