headlights

i have been using Street Glow xenon bulbs in my 93' sc for about two years. For some reason my right side bulb harness keeps burning up. The left side is fine. Why am I having this problem? I keep rewiring and can't find the source to the problem.

It could be that you're using bulbs with wattage ratings higher than what your stock bulb wiring harness could take. I have PIAA lighting on mine, and the wattage is stated as 55W, same as for my old stock bulbs.

I second that. I saw an 99 GS300 with wrong type of bulb, higher voltage and current than the factory. I burned up the connector+harness. We have to replaced a completed harness.
