melting low beam sockets problem 850 1994

Electrical resistance results in heat generation, I squared times R. The more resistance (R) for a given current (I) the more heat. Make sure the contacts are clean and shiny on both the socket and the lamp.

If one or the other is corroded, something may be getting on the contacts.

Does it happen on both (R & L) sides?
