Terrible time with lights

I am having a terrible time with my headlights/foglights. The foglights arent bothering me too much cuz I can leave them off. I have to get at least a new driver side one because it got water inside and melted everything. Now to the headlights.

The car had Nokya 9006 blue bulbs in them. The ones on the car on the passenger side had the socket melted and you would have to wiggle it every once in a while because it would stop. Anyway I ordered 2 new ones which were about $40 for the set. The one on the drivers side then melted. Is there any reason why that is. I replaced them with regular xtravision white lights and so far everything is ok. Even when I put the white ones in I had to play with the socket to get it to work. Most cars you push the plug onto the light all the way and its good to go. On these I had to push all the way in and then pull out a little. WIth my car riding as rough as it does with the S techs(anyone wanna trade for something diff???) if I hit a bump it shakes them loose

Most likely the Nokya bulbs were 100W which will melt most sockets so that's normal. You are better off buying a new pair and splice those on to get rid of the factory ones completely. And S-Techs are known to ride like crap, just get something different.
