I have had issues with the front and rear lights. Discovered that the socket to the headlight on the drivers side was melted when I went to replace the bulb. After replacing the socket the light worked only intermittently. There seemed to be a poor connection and I would have to adjust the wiring leading to the bulb until I got a good connection. This connection was easily lost hitting bumps in the road. Tried another replacement socket and this one works much better. Also discovered a melted socket on the passenger side brake light along with a melted light housing. Despite the light not working it was extremely hot when I went to remove it. While the driver's side brake light is currently working, it too seems to be over heating. The socket is cracked in two places and the light housing is also melted.
