Melted Yazaki lamp socket housing 1987 hj60 (1 Viewer)

[jsbutter]

Far left instruments would not illuminate when headlights were on. Removed instrument cluster today and found a melted lamp socket housing(see below). I have been scouring the web, but can't seem to find a replacement lamp socket housing. "Yazaki" is inscribed on the back of the housing.

Instrument panel also fogs(see below). Any chance these are related issues? Do I need to be worried about anything in particular or can bulbs get that hot when they blow?

Thanks,
