I just tied to install my HID bulbs and got completely taken back. I guess throughout the winter salt deposites collected on my wires and actually corroded and fried the grey OEM connecter that is attatched to the car. Anyone here have any ideas on what I can do? You guys think that the connecter would be available to sell or do I have to completely change the whole shit?

I think it has something to do with just this last winter. My city started to use a liquid salt sloution on the highways. Which I think made id perfect to seep down in the foglight compartment.

Yeah, Learned my lesson last year. Was changing all the bulbs in the car, turned the car on to check so see if they worked. Oh, they worked fine....Forgot to turn the car off and zapped the shit out of my hand. Flew back and landed on my ass.
