96 Maxima Headlight Plug burnouts

I have a 96 Maxima which continually burns out the headlight plugs. I have changed them 5 times in the past two months. Most recently I upgraded to the high temperature plugs hoping this would resolve the problem and it has not. I just installed the high temperature plug yesterday and it has already melted. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: 96 Maxima Headlight Plug burnouts

Your using the wrong size headlight bulb power ratings. Draws too much current and melts it. 55w/60w bulbs should be fine

Is it easy to replace headlight plugs? Do you have instructions? I have a 98 Maxima and need to do the same thing. Thanks.
