Toasted Headlight Connector Need Advice !
Like many others my aftermarket bulbs burned my headlight connector . The odd thing is one side is perfectly fine while the other is toasted . Can someone give me advice what to do next. Should I cut the wiring to see if the harness is fine, cuz it looks like only the connector is burnt. And if its only the connector thats burnt, is it possible that I only replace the connector ? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

yes, you can replace only the connector/socket part. Many people buy the Nokya harness, but I don't think it's "upgraded". I bought one for my other car and it's very cheezy.
it seems that ebay and suvlights sell upgraded harnesses for $40, however you might have issues w/highbeam.

Make an upgraded headlight harness. id go pick up 2 new 9004/9007 headlight connectors, 2 relays, 2 spools of 12 awg wire (red and black) some spade connectors for the relays, then go crazy with the soldering iron. its well worth the time.
