My problem is the socketsame keep burning up or melting

 

Well, have you been replacing the socket every time it burns up or melts? How often is "keep"?

Come on, give us a bit more info that that. Have they damaged the headlight housing?

 

I've replaced the socket (pigtail) about 5 times with ones I got at a junkyard.

 

Have they damaged the headlight housing?

Have you checked the grounding with a VOM? If not, that would be the first step needed.

 

What bulbs are you using?

 

no i haven"t checked the ground but, that sounds like a good idea.

 

Which bulb are you using? Make and model number?

 

Only If you are using one of the high wattage bulbs then that might explain the issue - however it would mean problems with both left and right. So I'd suspect the ground for sure.

 

A bad ground will cause the socket to melt.
Used sockets can have the same problem .
perhaps splicing in a socket from Dorman or GM

Just to chime in, same problem My bulbs dont last. I know bulbs are rated by brightness and life span, and it is inversely proportional So do you want to see better at night or change bulbs less often. I have perfected bulb change. No need to remove as much as the book says.

Looking into the LED bulbs now
