Do you have any suggestions as to anything else that could’ve caused that burnt headlight connector? It definitely was not normal wear and tear.

Edit: The middle wire was the one that seemed to have burnt the connector, which appears to be ground. I checked the ground and it appears fine

Sounds like a short to ground to me. Maybe the power wire coming into the headlight shorted to the ground wire before going through the headlight. Seems like this should have blown a fuse.
