Has anyone else had problems with harnesses melting with these bulbs?
In the past 3 years I've used the bulbs...I've had the harnesses melt on me 6 times.

both harnesses or just one?

someone before mentioned checking your grounds. i had one melt on me but i had used noyka artic blues before and they melted them so i had to switch...hopefully they stop melting them, otherwise i'll just go back to stock or go hid's when i can afford them.

This is just a guess but I bet it is due to the age of the harness. Make sure your grounds and all other wires are still connected properly.

both harnesses go but at different times...you can see where the harness connects to the bulb that it's the slot on the right that always melts.

Any specific grounds to check?

is it easy to replace the harnesses and where can i find some? thanks.

You can get them from nissan or any parts place for 5-10 dollars. Just 3 wires to cut and reconnect.

does anyone make any heavy-duty ones?

Where I've joined the new harness to the old wires...you can see that my connection was starting to melt there as well. (only on the one wire that melted at the harness) Would this indicate a ground problem? If so...where do I start looking?

Yes you can buy upgraded/better harnesses. I think apc sells them.

what's up ,,,,, save your time everybody the harn. will always melt . mine did 7 times with all kinds of bulbs just get rid of the problem cut the harness and use 3 terminal connectors this is the way to go it will never melt

josh95se

Were you using regular wattage bulbs? How long have you had it with just your terminal connecters?

grounding doesnt work! i used 12 gauge on all connections and grounded directly to the factory grounding point right below the passenger side bulb and its still frying! i'll have to try the idea without the harness. somebody let me know if it works using the connectors

BigJayx23

so wats up? adding extra ground wont do jack? apparently the ground wire always burn... which totally sux.. anyone got a solution to this????

Replacing the harness with another stock harness isn't going to help.. it'll just melt again. What you need to do is get an upgraded harness. I got a set from www.southwestautoworks.com and it's been fine ever since.

ok after melting my stock 5 times i got the one from ebay ' what a dumbass i was'' total waste of money still melted so i got rid of the harness completely cut the wires and put the terminal connectors then put them on the bulb piece of cake... sometimes the harness didn't last one trip 10 maybe 20 min. but i ve had my current setup for 3 months now no probs,,, you can get the terminal connectors from napa or k mart or anywhere and make sure theyre tight on the bulb terminals and then tape em up to isolate them ,,, i don't care who has bullitproof harnesses i'm not gonna waste my money or time trying to find out
