Yes — this is a common cause.

Many drivers install cheap LEDs/HIDs without proper ballasts o r resistors.

These draw too much power o r cause socket overheating.

Heat builds up in enclosed headlamp units, damaging both the bulb and wiring.

🛠️ Avoid non-OEM o r fake LED kits. Only install canbus-safe and manufacturer-approved lighting.
