That wiring harness will give you light equal to some Hids believe it or not. I just got one from LMctrucks.com and it is great. I'm using hella 55/65w +50% and they light up everything plus I got hella Ecode housings and I can't be happier.

it happened to me once ,agreeing with the crapy wires and also the switch which could both melt if your bulbs are normal , there is a grey plug on the drivers side foot kick that its flat that contains about 8 wires its really easy to look for because it looks like a bunch of bumps together that plug always melts down causing that issue , so when at home , remove kick panel and check for that plug with lights on and shake it to see if thats the main problem , be careful because it gets really hot , i had to bridge one of the wires once on the road , thats the easiest way to fix it , ill post some pics later so you can id the plug
