Light bulb help
I have two different types of headlights first of all, one broke and I had it replaced with a depo headlight, and the other side is a bosch that came with the car.
I replaced the healight almost a year ago, and put new bulbs in on both sides (hyperwhites) 5000k about a month ago.
My connector on the depo side is now melted, doesn't hold the bulb, and the connector smells really bad, even after I drive with only my fogs on.
I think I just need a connector, and put the regular bulbs back in. So I'm going to take it to the shop and have them put the bulbs back in and put on a new connector.
My dad thinks they are going to have to run a whole diagnotics test, is there something else wrong?
What do you guys think?

Is it the same wattage as the OEM bulbs? I had an issue with my connector
breaking and ended up making a new connector. I thought I would need a
new light harness as the wires are really small (almost like they should be of
a heavier gauge).
