Default Melting Away

I am changing my 12 GS rear brake lights to LED and finding out that the housing of 3 out 4 existing lights is melted. Right one is the remaining good one, left one is one of the melted ones.

What happened? Where can I get the parts.

Go to the dealer and get them to replace the sockets. That should NOT be happening!

Well can't you just walk down the street and pick them up for 1/10 the cost then?

I had something similar happen on an old Grand Am I had (95). Used to melt the back of the fog lamps. Maybe you can get in touch with a dealer and get them sent to you free. Good luck!
