just FYI the LED bulbs don't get hot enough to burn plastic.
having worked with and diagnosed many melted, burnt, fired lenses from bulbs....the conclusion was made that its the connection point.
In other words, I have a V-led bulb in a couple sockets as well, I noticed they use a very thin wire on each side of the bottom thats supposed to contact the sockets power. I didn't like this because it may not be a very good connection. With a bad connection, you have resistance which gets warm, and to add to the mess, if its intermediate, then its going to spark and spark and spark and spark, which will get VERY VERY HOT and burn lots of things.
long story short, check your connections inside the socket. most likely its loose and sparking thus causing the heat to melt things. and yes you can probably (not guaranteed) blame V-LED for their lousy connection plates on the LED bulbs (which is just a single thin wire strand).
