Are saying the housing/lenses are melting, or are you saying the bulb is melting? Just one side doing it or both? Front or back?

Read this... Most of those seem viable. I was thinking moisture, or a short somewhere.

You are low on fluid, you must not have enough in the reservoir to keep the bulbs cool, causing them to overheat and thus blow.[sm=trust_me.gif][sm=shades.gif]

the bulb is touching the blinker assembly,melting it and making the bulb blow. make sure your bulb is out far enough,i had the same problem when i installed my black blinker assemblys
