Why did my headlights kill my car?

If you do as said you will expose the base metal of the connector and cause additional accelerated corosion.

Also dielectric grease is an insulater and has no place on the contact points of a connector. Maybe the connector will displace the greese, but you can float a battle ship in a 1 molecule thick sheet of water. To think that the grease will be fully displaced probably will not happen



Worst advice ever. Grease the piss out of those connectors. Literally if required.

Inside the headlight switch.

Beat by 4 minutes. This> Replace the headlight switch.
