Subaru: lights on 02 wrx

lights on 02 wrx
got a glitch with the lights on my rex, wandering if anyone ever came across
anything similar.
vehicle has no mods whatsoever,
the driver side headlight burned out, replaced the bulb,
then after about a days worth of driving, it burned out again, but this time
there was a smell of burning plastic.
the harness, melted,
replaced the harness and the light bulb -
another day goes by,
same exact thing happening.
it is burning right @ the connection of the harness to the light bulb
terminals.
any ideas?
thanks,
Dan

Go to the dealer and complain to them. If you aren't out of warranty it
should be covered.

Re: lights on 02 wrx
you say no mods, but I think what you're describing can happen with
higher wattage replacement lamps - are you sure they are stock rated
bulbs? Did a previous owner ever have high wattage bulbs in there?
Coulda' compromised the connector.

Make sure you have a clean tight connection. Heat is proportional to the
current multiplied by the resistance. The connection resistance should be
very small.

oops... should be current squared times resistance.
