Something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Ceramic-Wiring-Headlight-Harness-Sockets/dp/B0097AA478

Interesting. Is that just from the bulb getting so hot? I'm having trouble seeing how it'd melt as wouldn't the stock headlight have melted its wires too? It's all a very similar connection setup.

For anyone who may care here, here's a quick photo diary of my install. After taking a rock to one head light, I replaced both headlights with He.lla H4 24V 100/90W (HLA-H83140041) bulbs, adapted a Doorman 9003 socket, with rubber shell connectors from Erik's, to fit the stock wiring harness...

As a comparison, my brother put the following "DOT approved" headlights in his newer Jeep Grand Cherokee: (no mods, I'm not trying to justify, just attempting to help others make their own, perhaps more informed decisions) Low beams: 55W Sylvania 9006 Lumens: ~1000...

If you're wondering about the brightness of the HELLA headlights here's some research I did: I had trouble finding the high-beam lumen output of the 100/90W 24v bulb (Hella P/N "XD24100/90"). But I did find the output for the 75/70W 24V. Directly from Hella it is 1750 (see document page 14)...

Looking at the Dorman 84790 Headlight Socket, I would say the answer to this is "No". I'd wager he just added the Packard connectors on the end of the wires (which is really easy to do, but obviously you need to own the said connectors)
