Halogen Headlight Problems

[Chieftian94]

Hello,

I am fairly new to the Jeep community but I was curious as to if anyone has seen this issue before? I have a 2020 Gladiator Sport with stock halogen lights which I bought back at the end of November of last year. Since I bought it the passenger's side headlight has burned out twice randomly. This past week I thought that it had burned out a 3rd time but while I was inspecting it was the plug that actually melted- the filament was still intact on the bulb. I took it back to the dealership and am currently waiting on parts but they claim that the housing itself was defective and that they didn't see an over-voltage coming through the wiring harness. Has anyone else seen this?


Thanks!

This is not a Jeep specific problem, more of a halogen bulb issue. Fairly high current draw , add in a little corrosion or slightly loose connectors , and heat is generated. I don’t know how many of these connectors I have replaced in my shop over the years , but a bunch. I am a retired auto tech/ shop owner.
