I used 85 watt bulbs and in about 2 months, it had melted the connector on one of my harnesses. I was kinda worried, but actually got a great and inexpensive ($15) solution from my local dealer of all places. They had a new harness, it was completely differnt from the stock one. The connector was made out of a different plastic, the connection to the bulb was much tighter and they had added a rubber grommit to help seal the connection against mositure. The dealer said the the stock harnesses were junk and melted easy, and he had never heard of the new ones melting, even with aftermarket bulbs.

So hey, even if your stock connector melts, its a relativly cheap and easy fix, and will leave you better than stock.
