Subject: Headlight rewiring

Morning everyone,

Got a question for those of you who have run heavier gauge wire  to your
headlights.  What do you do once you get it to the headlight...how do you
connect it?  Doesn't splicing the new wire into the existing, smaller gauge,
wires at the plug, defeating the purpose???  If I could get to the terminals
inside the plug, I'd rewire it also. However, the back of the plug where the
wires enter is encased in epoxy.  Is it possible to buy a plug that I can
wire myself with the heavier gauge wire??  Just looking for some ideas.

TIA
