my 2k with euro dezigns 100/80 watt xenon bulbe melted the connector that plugs into the bulb! luckily i smelled it cooken pulled over and disconected it. did this happen 2 anybody else? replaced the plug 1.99 and it does not get hot,other side wich is factory gets hot, ill replace that one next

 

anybody???????"??

 

i cant b the only 1????

 

You should've antied up and got some PIAA's dude.

 

Whenever you increase the wattage that much as compared to what the stock harness can handle, don't even risk trying to use the factory harness. Eventually it will burn and ruin the harness! Why don't you just install a higher wattage harness and be safe?

 

yes this happened to me when i 1st bought the car and was too cheap or didnt know about hids, went thru about 4 sets of "hid look" bulbs b4 my harness started smoking one day then i went and got some 7000k's

 

Yup, standard issue with "Xenon" halogens. My freind melted his and has to replace the whole harness in his WRX. He is so bitter. Now he's like "I don't care about HID or looking HID, it's gay!" Well, it wasn't gay until you melted your harness, lol.

Anyways, point is it happens.

 

what is 7000ks

 

its the color and brightness of my hids

 

I see it all the time, you overloaded the circuit by putting in those higher wattage bulbs.

It is basic electrial theroy.

more wattage = higher current(Amperage)

higher amperage= excessive load on the circuit

excessive load on a circuit designed to run at 10 amps that is now pulling
say 15 to 18 = heat

heat melts things as you found out

 

Where did you buy the new plug??? This has just happened to me too!!!
