Hey Guys,

I recently started having problems with my headlights. It looks like they are getting hot and melting the female connectors. Are there any replacement parts out there and where can I get them? They went out on me last night at about 9PM. Bad time to be driving with no headlights.

If they're getting hot you should maybe check the amperage going to them.....There should be no reason for them to get hot enough to melt the connectors

If the wires are getting hot, check your ground leads for the headlights. They are located on either side of the front apron.
This should help:

My headlights are completely gone now. What can I do and where can I get them fixed? NIck's has closed so there is no chance of going there. I was told that it may also be electrical. Can I replace the electrical system for my lights?

Do your high beams work or not? It's not hard to wire in a separate relay controlled headlight system. I suggest two high amp BOSCH relays, you can use the factory headlight switch to turn them on and the same goes for the high beams. If they're not working you'll need a total of 4 relays.
Just take the car to a trusted independent shop, I'm sure someone you know has an old European mechanic they trust. Old school European dudes are usually the better mechanics, they are also usually very good with wiring and can trace your problems. Keep us posted on what happens.

My High beams were working then they stopped. I've had to drive at night twice without them. I work for the Budd's in Oakville. I'm sure one of the dealerships should be able to fix my problem. I'll get back to you tomorrow on what happens. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried replacing the multi-switch? The stalk that controls your high beams, turn signals and wipers....... It's real easy to replace, but make sure you get one from a non-airbag car. I think that may be your problem.

Whatever the problem is it melted my connectors.

Sounds like a bad ground. Have you even checked the grounds or done any sort of work/testing on the system?
