H11 HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC Headlight Plug (Connector or Socket) Harness with USA made 14 GAUGE Wires and moisture seals

These connectors are the perfect solution to fix the manufacturers shortcomings! Better than OEM in every way, heavier gauge wire than stock, and no chance of the socket melting (like the original ones did). In fact, the wiring was a full gauge heaver than OEM. A few suggestions for the repair:1. Don't just replace the connector, replace the bulb at the same time - The reason is that the posts on the bulb are probably oxidized from the original heat that melted the socket to begin with. Oxidation causes resistance in the connection, and resistance causes heat. It won't melt the ceramic anymore, but will create additional heat that could melt attached wiring, oxidize the new connector contacts, or otherwise cause additional heat damage (headlight housing or otherwise)..2. Leave the leads long on the connector - Because the wiring is probably larger gauge than what you are replacing, the longer/heavier lead will allow for more heat dissipation before reaching your OEM wiring. Shorten your OEM wires if you know you'll have too much/too long wiring when done.3. Solder the splices - again, less resistance and heat, and a more reliable connection. Also use heat-shrink wiring sheathing to cover the splice (Helpful hint: Don't forget to put the sheathing on one of the leads BEFORE soldering!).4. If you can get some, use some anti-oxidation paste on the terminals (just a little), again to prevent oxidation/resistance/heat. You can order on line or even buy at your local big-box home improvement retailer (either the orange or blue one, both carry at most stores)5. If your original socket melted, there may be smoke residue causing cloudiness on the inside of the headlight housing. You can try using a diluted mixture of vinegar and water (50/50) to rinse out the inside of the housing. Make sure to rinse at least a second time with water and ensure that it is dry before reassembly (it may take a while to dry out).Happy repairs!

There are many choices for H11 pigtails, both at auto stores and on Amazon, but I chose this one because of 1/ ceramic plug, 2/ heavy duty 14 gauge wire and 3/ the positive reviews. Yes, it is more expensive than many of the others but IMHO well worth it, especially if you are upgrading the lamps to anything other than stock.I needed to replace one socket due to corrosion where the plug meets the wire which left the lamp inoperative. I also noticed the the OEM plastic plug had melted in places due to installing a better halogen lamp.Installation was easy on my 2009 Chevy Silverado. I soldered the wires , applied dielectric grease and used heat shrink wrap at the connection. No problem with the ceramic plug as others have mentioned- lamp went right in and no worries about breaking.Also, the rubber gasket seal at the lamp provided an above average seal.Only improvement I could suggest would to manufacture the unit with a black wire and one other color wire so that DIYS'ers would have an easier time with polarization. I didn't have that problem as I kept the old lamp and attached the new wires using the plug keyway as a guide (this isn't my first rodeo.)Been about a month and no problems-pigtail looks great with no signs of damage from using the upgraded bulb. If you are going to spend the money on (very) expensive and exotic head lamps, spend a few bucks extra for a quality pigtail.

My vehicle is a 2008 SilveradoBulb is h11.Keyway on ceramic socket was too narrow. Seemed like it could even bee off center.H11 bulbs from two different manufacturers would not fit. Also the lil side clip arrived to me broken. Not fit for Wisconsin winter or heavy duty use. Disappointed. Could buy 5 dorman equivalents for this price. They are forcing me to return for refund. I would not recommend.UPDATE: I read the review from the user Jeremy on the same product. He cut out the center keyway on the bulb and put it on. I did the same thing with a sharp knife. It was able to fit the bulb then. My headlight is now on again.. updated my review from a 1 star to a 2 star because the product was still manufactured incorrectly or with bad tolerances. also since it arrived with one clip broken I'm not sure how long this hold will fix. We'll update if the socket has any more issues.

One of the low beam H11 connectors on my truck was melted when I went to change the bulb so I ordered two of these. As a professional automotive technician I found these well made and easy to solder in. The insulation is rugged but was not hard to strip back. The weather pack seals fit tightly in the bulb base. These were more cost effective than buying an entire headlamp wiring harness for both sides and they are easier to install because I did not have to remove the headlamps. Your vehicle installation will certainly be different but these will work well for you. The ceramic base is a good idea. H11s seem to suffer from melt down more frequently than other bulb types so I hope these will stop that on my truck for good.

I bought this as the existing plug for my Volvo XC90 was broken and corroded. The product came quickly and is of very high quality. I was initially frustrated because the plug would not fit into the H11 light receptacle. My first thought was that I ordered the wrong thing. After a bit of investigation I realized the old plug was broken off inside the headlight and had nothing to do with this replacement plug. After a quick trip to the auto store for a new headlight lamp the repair was done. I am writing all of this in case someone out there makes the same mistake. It is a great product and I would definitely purchase again!

Pontiac Problem Solver! These have worked great so far. A common problem with the Pontiac G6 is burned out bulbs and mostly melted plugs. GM doesn't wish to issue a recall and this has so far been the solution!
