Description of the problem	My brake light on the driver side went out. While trying to change it i found it very hard to take the brake lights out on both sides of the car. Upon finally getting the light bulbs out i found that the brake light housing on both sides had melted and warped making it difficult to get the bulbs out. Along with this the light bulbs had fused themselves into their sockets. I had to break the bulbs to get the complete bulb unit out of the socket. I was able to get the new bulbs into the socket relatively easy. However, when i tried to put them back into the brake housing i had to force them back in. This happened on both sides of the car. My concern is the housing could melt more and ignite on fire. I do not have pictures of it but i do have video of the issue. I found this out when trying to change the bulds in a parking lot close to a local automotive parts company where i work.
