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.

Re: 9007 Headlight Bulb Connectors Melted
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.

Re: 9007 Headlight Bulb Connectors Melted
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.
