i was changing out my headlight bulbs and when i pulled out the plug that connects to the bulb...i noticed the black plastic piece (not the rubber) had melted...i was wondering how this had happened and will it happen again? if so...how is it fixable?? thanks guys

 

It sounds like a short ?

 

Same thing happend to me but when i had some aftermarket bullshit bulbs and the whole plastic harness melted apart . i still don't know why it happend i think it was because the bulb had to many watts. I bought some piaa gt bulbs and they never burned the wire. i don't know if i should buy the harness from the honda dealer or there is also this headlight harness upgrade on ebay for like $40 bucks i don't know what to do either . to look for the harnes on ebay search for civic harness .

 

got to hot, go to a junk yard and clip the plugs off of a other harness. Soldier your new plugs on!

 

jdmcivic98...i think you're because i have some 100/90W headlight bulbs in right now...

 

 

Buy lower wattage bulbs.

 

i did the same thing when i try to put 100w bulbs in and lucky for me the bulbs butrnt out before anything could have shorted or melted, then i learned never put a larger watt bulb or fuse for replacement anywhere in your car.

 

Same thing happened to me when I use 90/130 bulbs. I just went to the jukyard and got them out of a wrecked civic, junkyards are your friend!!
