Has anyone e ver tried those blue xenon headlight bulbs for $5.95 on ebay? Well i suggest you dont because i got a pair about 4 months ago and it was all fine until about a couple weeks ago. Everytime i would turn on my headlights, the drivers side would not come on so i would have to tap the housing and it would pop on. I got tired of the doing that everytime so i just decided to check the connection of the bulb to the plug that goes into it. So i was unplugging it and had to force the plug off of the the bulb and notice that the inside of the plug was almost completely melted away and theats why it would not come on everytime. I checked the other side and it was just starting to melt the plastic. So now i put the regular bulbs back in and that plug is all f'ed up and i still have to jiggle it everytime i turn the lights on. so i guess those bulbs get too hot so i would not recommend buying them. Has anyone else had this problem before??
