Smoking wires/socket on headlight.

The other night I noticed smoke coming from the back of my passenger's side headlight.

(The black socket which plugs on to the back of the low beam globe.)

Driver's side headlight looks very dull as well compared the smoking passengers side.

Seems like a voltage spike of some sort, but I would have thought the fuse would go first.

Really not keen on destroying the lighting system on the car.

Any ideas would help before I have to take it to an auto spark.

just pull the headlights out and have a look at 'em, Adam.

 

it's probably just a bit of plastic sitting on the globe and smoking.

that's true, but I'm sure you can work it out :) even technical numpties can do it, so surely you can, too ;)
