I swapped the bulb and taped up the wires, and so far so good. No idea what could have caused the plastics to melt in the first place though. The bulb was still working but one of the pins was blackened.
Not really sure what's cause and what's effect here. Any thoughts?

Something as simple as a loose connection, the power still try's to get to where it's going but the "gap" becomes a resistor and it becomes like a mini arc welder. Therefore high temps and things melting, that's my guess!
