Third brake light problem

I noticed that the third brake light was out on my bronco the other day, and figured I would replace the bulb and it would be fine, i noticed that the bulb socket was melted and discolored, so the smart me put a bulb in it and figured it would be fine, that one just burnt out, anybody have any suggestions on what the problem is?

sounds like to much amps I think, I would use a meter and check to see how much juice is going to it then check fuses and the wires themselves
is there any more electric problems

Other than the third brake light i have no electrical problems. And yes i was using a direct replacement, i will get a voltmeter and check the amperage going to it, and check out the fuses too, thanks!
