Your car's innermost taillight on the liftgate melted its housing and burned the socket, which could have caused a fire and endangered you and others on the road. You noticed the problem when the bulb burned out and needed replacement. You've replaced it with LED bulbs to reduce fire risk, but the underlying issue with the socket and housing remains unresolved and should be inspected by a dealer.
