Low-Beams
Update: Im having my dash and lights in side flickering and once my high beams are on same problem. Also If I turn all my lights in the car or my high beams the car just dies. Is that a battery problem?
Last night I cleaned the harness plug(the bottom of the plug was melted a bit, but it still has the metal connections) and the MFS unit and put them back together and viola! my headlights work again. I believe it's from using different wattage bulbs in either your headlights or fogs. Either way, I'm installing standard blubs from now on.
doesn't have anything to do with the voltage.. it's all 12 - 15 volts (depending on how much your alternator is putting out.
It's about the current the bulbs are using.
P (wattage) = Amps(current) x Voltage
You use higher wattage bulbs they use more amps. Thus the melted harness. Because any connection in a wire adds resistance. resistance makes heat.

The problem is you are using a bulb that is rated at twice the legal wattage. Low beams are 55W. High beams are 65W. 100W is off-road use only because it WILL blind oncoming traffic. You also need a dual filament bulb as the one bulb produces both the low and high beams. Go to the store, buy proper bulbs, and try it.
All I know is using that high of a wattage bulb, you run the risk of catching the factory wiring on fire and/or melting it, heck, possibly even melting the housing. The factory wiring is not made for that kind of bulb.
