Hi, having some trouble with wiring on my '92 Galant, I thought I had it right this time, but today the relay stopped working, I swapped it for another one and it worked... for about 10 minutes, the 10 Amp fuse for the light is melted (but working somehow) so I'm assuming that the wiring is messed up and there's simply too much current passing through the fuse and relay. I'd like to ask if anybody knows exactly which wire goes where for the H4 bulb so I can fix them. Attached are some pictures of the mess:

Figure 2. The 3 wires on the "car side", there's Red with Blue, Red with White, and Red with some Black spots or just Red.

Figure 3. The 3 wires on the "Bulb side", connections are Blue to Red with White, Black to Red and Blue, and Red to Red.

Thanks in advance for any help!

It’s wired incorrectly but I don’t have a diagram that might be right until tomorrow.
You have every red wire going to that plug and that doesn’t seem right.
There’s other wires going to below the headlight itself.
 
There’s a with and without alarm diagram for the headlights assuming it’s about the same as a VR-4 Galant

Nice, I believe I have them properly wired now, the fuse that kept melting looks ok so far and all lights turn on when prompted to. Thanks a lot!
