My headlights started flickering, so I did some research and found that it's probably caused by the headlight switch/connector overheating due to the incorrect gauge of wire it came with from factory. Indeed it was - my connector is melted. Most likely this is because I run my fog lights whenever I run my head lights
But I am wondering how I can fix and prevent this issue from reoccurring in the future (while still being able to use my fog lights).
I will buy a new headlight switch and headlight switch connector. I read that the new connectors come with a higher gauge wire.
1) Will this higher gauge at the connector prevent it from overheating or will the lower gauge wire before the connector (in the harness) overheat and cause problems still?
2) If the above answer is that there will still be problems, would rewiring my fog lights under the console to run them separately fix the issue? Since I am not electrically-inclined, I do not want to do the huge relay-rewiring method.
