I noticed the other night that I had a burned out right-side headlight. So I bought a new bulb this morning and proceeded to install it.

It was easy enough to remove the headlight assembly - only three bolts, easily to get to, no need to remove the grille or anything else.

And then I noticed that the plastic around the center tab was crumbling and falling apart???

The left-side housing is intact and solid. Makes me wonder if maybe some kind of fluid (brake fluid or such??) got dripped on there and started eating it away? I doubt there's any way to repair this, so I'll have to start looking for a replacement.

Then I noticed the plug at the light bulb was burned.
