Good ol' Screwtape

Well I'm pretty much electrical-dumb. So if anyone can provide any useful information, I'd really appreciate it.

So I guess these aftermarket headlight bulbs ("which ones" is kind of irrelevant) fried the socket? If not...well I don't know. The point is the socket is pretty much melted- So much so that the bulb prongs are fused into it. So the second I tried prying it out, I accidentally broke the bulb (gloves save the day) and pried the base off of the 3 prongs which are now still stuck in the socket.

If you looked at it...You might agree that they're never gonna come out, and even if they did, the socket is too badly damaged/melted. So...where do I go from here?

AND HOW?

Thanks for any help...
I'm trying to avoid more fix-it tickets.

You can buy replacement sockets from pepboys/kragen/napa/shucls.... just cut off your stock harness, leaving enough to strip, and use crimp connectors to attach the new plug. the exact same thing happened to my accord (with jdm h4 lights)

look for ones that can handle higher wattage also so this doesnt happen again
