Ford Explorer: 9007 Headlight Bulb Connectors Melted

    9007 Headlight Bulb Connectors Melted

    Hell all, I have a pair of aftermarket 9007 Xeon 100watt bulbs. Well, the
    headlights went out today [Not entirely off, but like dim] and I originally
    though it was the bulbs. After close inspection of the inside of the
    connectors, they actually melted causing the headlights not to work
    properly. I went to Napa and I can actually buy new standard connectors and
    just cut the factory connectors off and slice new ones on. But, I think this
    is bound to happen again. So I went searching the net for heavy duty
    connections and came up with these:

    Do you think these connectors are really built better? Anyone have any
    experience with this?



    I was also thinking of splurging and get getting the 9007 HID 7000K
    upgrade/conversion kit. You can pick one up for around 400 - 500$. Has
    anyone thrown HID in their explorer? If so, what package, brand, were you
    satisfied? Was it a difficult installation? Thanks for your comments and
    suggestions.

    I just knew all those aftermarket bulb kits were trouble...

    The problem is using over powered bulbs with the small pins in the 9007
    bulb. The heavier wire of a decent harness will help, but the pins in the
    base of the bulb are the choke point.

    Found a company in Los Angeles that stocks 'high temperature' aftermarket
    9007 connectors for dirt cheap. 3.95 each. LOL, What A Great Deal. If
    anyone wants their address let me know. Crossing my fingers that these new
    connectors will hold up. I'll let you all know.

    I might order the Philips 9007 HID conversion kit as well. If I do I'll post
    pictures and information after the installation. CHeers.
