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.

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
