Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I initially thought it was some sort of overheating issue too, I just don't understand why it would overheat after 5 or 10 minutes, then be perfectly fine for half an hour after I take the fuse in and out. Again, swapping the bulb and ballast did not correct the issue.

There's no corrosion on the connector and all the wiring looked good when I had the headlight out. Might take it out again just to be 100% certain though.

Darren, nice to know I'm not crazy and that someone else is having the same issue. PLEASE let me know if you find the problem. I am in Burlington btw.

Perhaps testing the wiring with an oms meter would be of some help.
I am not very good with wiring but it sounds to me like you may have a grounding issue.

Yes, I'm stumped with mine too. I'll certainly keep you informed if I figure it out.
