Default Headlamp plug-in Melted

What do you do in a case like this if you want to use the same factory bulbs? Thank you.

You buy a ceramic pigtail and solder/heat shrink the wiring.

Something like

.

Also, I'd consider a relay harness - if that's the passenger side, you can tape it up and forget about it. If it's the driver's side, you'll still have to repair it.

I've always liked the 100W Putco harness due to the current capability of it ... taking

and repinning like on
