and stinking up the inside of the car whenever i have the air on. it looks like its about to go. i have matrix 90/100w bulbs in now, ill put my stock ones back in when i get home later tonite, but what do i do about it? the housing is all melted and cracking, and the light is a lot dimmer than the other bulb that isnt melting. is this an expensive boo boo? and should i keep using the matrix bulbs?

you should NOT run higher wattage bulbs without APC Upgraded headlight harness.. if you have one.. then i would use a different bulb..Originally posted by magnum

I have lower wattage bulbs and the upgraded harness and mine are still melting. Looks like I am gonna have to go with the real HID's.
advance auto carries apc stuff now, so if youve got one near you, check them out.

You can make your own by buying the 9004 connector harnesses from PEPBOYS and wiring up a relay straight to the battery like I did.
