Default DRL Pig Tails?

Has anyone had any trouble with their plug for the DRLs looking burnt and crispy then breaking apart when you try to pull the bulb out?

I went to change my bulbs yesterday and busted the plug and the bulb is stuck.

Anybody got any extras laying around? lol

yeah, for my part time job I used to work at Adv. Auto Parts. I helped people change bulbs daily, I ran across many brittle and burt plug ins. We sell the replacements and it happens to more than only GM models.

Cool Deal. This is the 1st time I have run across this and was worried something was wrong with the wiring or what no.

Thanks Man

yea, my sockets are all burnt up too. I broke a few bulbs and just pulled out all the broken junk with pliers. After having about 3 sets of bulbs burn out, and 1 pair of LED's I just took them out all togeather. Not that important to me.
