I use a product I got from an internet vendor. It's called Deoxit D100L. I
put it on the contact points on the headlights, ground points. Small bottle
with a small brush applicator attached to the lid, kinda like nail polish
bottles are. Since I started using it I don't have the melting 9004
connectors. Also using short ground wires running to the steel "firewall"
just behind the lights seems to help.
