Default Brake Light Bracket Melted

Hello, the socket to insert the brake bulbs is melted. I'm not sure how that occurred but now I need to replace it.

Where can I find the replacement for this whole part?

Here's a photo.

You need a new tail light. This happened because of high resistance meaning a poor connection between the bulb and socket. Not a difficult part to find on Ebay.
