Headlight problem

I have had Piaa bulbs in since I had my car and one burned out but it ended up burning the whole connector. Has this happened to anyone before?? If so can i just buy a new harness from Nissan and rewire it??Thanks

What i did was just splice in new connectors (got them online somewhere) and put the stock bulbs back in. The extra white color of the upgraded bulbs isn't worth destroying the wiring!

Come to think of it, I saw replacement connectors at PepBoys. Just go to the a auto store and get them, then splice them in. the fix should cost less than $10. Getting a whole new harness from Nissan will cost big bucks.
