Common root cause: Overheating due to a bulb with higher wattage than supported by the terminals/wires, or poor electrical connection causing resistance.
Step-by-step solution: 1. Turn off the vehicle and remove the bulb and socket. 2. Verify that the bulb used is compatible with the vehicle's and socket's wattage specification. Replace with a lower wattage bulb if necessary.

⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

Contact the seller for warranty service if, after following all installation and correct usage instructions, the socket exhibits a manufacturing defect, such as cracks in the ceramic without apparent cause, corroded internal terminals, or wires that easily detach without misuse. Issues arising immediately after installation, not due to incorrect installation or use of incompatible bulbs, may indicate a manufacturing defect.
