The plugs that clip in to the headlight bulbs have melted, resulting in loose connections that need to be pushed back on regularly. I am looking to replace the plugs, but before I do, any thoughts on why they would be melting! Havent checked the bulbs, but perhaps different wattage! Thanks in advance, Steve.

Very common problem on Nisaans, we do quite a few. Cut another plug off a car at the wreckers,and solder it onto the loom. Make sure you clean up the contacts inside and then click it on.

Its pritty comon on older nissans for this to happen when the plugs are loose and there is a bad conecting it heats up and melts the plastic around the terminals. You can buy new plugs from repco or bnt

If they are loose, couldn't you crimp them a bit tighter! Our VN did the same, but I had fitted 80/100 watt bulbs. Swapped to 55/60 +90's and the problem went away.

yeah high wattage bulbs and crap connections. You can but heavy duty plugs and solder them in to your loom.

Any Auto Electrician will have new replacements at a low cost, don't bother with second hand.
