Default headlight prob.

i bought 85 w headlights for my 95 lx and every two weeks it burns out the wiring harness to the headlight causing the head lights to flash from on to off. does anyone have ideas?

You are trying to run more voltage through the wire than it was designed for. Re-wire with a larger gauge wire.

you can buy sockets to accomodate higher wattage bulbs. most auto parts stores have a selection, and if all else fails there is always the internet.
