124 headlight socket singed

[lrg]

The female socket/plug that connects the wiring to the headlight bulb on my 124 is pretty badly singed. Are these fairly easy to replace or should I be thinking about trying to repair it? I remember someone on the forum posted a photo of plugs that had been done in by high wattage bulbs and mine looks pretty much like that but strangely only on one side. I'm using a "high output" off the shelf Sylvania halogen bulb but my plug was damaged before I bought the car and the new bulbs don't seem to have made it much worse. Anyone had any experience trying to deal with this problem?
