my dome light

so basically, my dome light hasnt been workin for like 2 weeks now, and i was wondering y, like before, every once in a while it would flicker, but now it just stopped, so i opened it up to see what was going on and the plastic was melted , it wont turn on at all, and i know its my fault because of the led festoon i was using, because i looked at the wattage today and it was really high on the bulb, but only like 7 on the car, anywayz, basically what im asking is, how should i fix it, do i have to order a new part? thanks in advance guys !

if its melted but still works safely then leave in, if it looks like it may start a fire or something just change....

What plastic melted? The plastic where the bulb is held or the plastic cover?
You need to get some new bulbs and put them in.
