Exterior Lighting problem #1

One of my cargo lights in the rear center of the cab burnt out and I went to replace it. When I took the cover off I noticed what looked like plastic on the light bulb that was burnt out. So I took a closer look inside and I noticed above the light bulb that the plastic had melted and it was the same way over the other light bulb. Now there is a hole in the plastic above each light bulb. So after I put the cover back on I made the lights come on by opening the truck door and I felt the cover and it was very hot to the touch. I am thinking this could possible start a fire if the doors remain open to long.

Headlights problem #2

Moisture inside left headlight lens, affecting brightness of light.

Turn Signal problem #3

Front turn signal assembly holding brackets broke and became dis attach from truck body. The hold assemble is made of plastic. While driving down the road the left side turn light assembly was hanging by wire. This happen early in the morning on a state highway.
