This is why I smelled burning plastic when I turned my headlights on.



I'm unconnecting them on both headlights before my truck gets burnt to the ground.

you can buy "upgraded" plugs for most bulb types at the parts store. I have had that issue before back in the day and those helped

I would get a new inverter if I were you...........

If they aren't under warranty, let me know - I think I have a couple spares here.

if you got a new inverter, you should be fine, I personally think you shouldn't have to worry
