Solution to everyones headlight problem!!!!!

arrite here we go... the problem with everyones headlights are as follows the aftermarket headlights everyone puts in, the pins in the headlight are too thin and it makes a bad connection with the ground clip in the wiring harness and when there isnt a good connection it creates resistance and resistance creates heat and heat is what messes up the harness and the bulb, to fix this you must buy a new harness take out the old harness and splice the new one in and then squeeze the ground clip on the harness closer together with something small so you cant get to the clip this is so you can make it a tight fit you also must clean the clips and replace the bulb hope i could help every1

umm, yeah...that was one hella long sentence. Periods are used to divide groups of words into understandable thoughts. Anyway, I've had no problems with my aftermarket headlights, cept for on my old 90 se, and that was at least 5 or 6 years ago.

All of this could have been avoided provided that people read the FAQ........

i think that whole sentence was to say get a new wireing harness.. and many orgers have been doing that for a long time. ebay has an "upgraded" harness for sale for like 30 bucks or something. someone try that out..

please read the faq ...
