After market fog lights, after market 17" wheels

Bought an After market fog light kit and installed on my 2013 reg. cab Tacoma with little problem. But now they seem unreliable when I turn them on, seems some of the disconnect plugs gotten corroded and need to play with them to get the lights to finally come on. Also noticed the wires that come directly from the lights get hot! Is this a concern or a normal electrical occurance.

There are many, many variables that we can't be aware of since we don't even have a picture to look at.

Right now it sounds like you merely did a bad Installation job.
