The question is why did it melt? Check you alternator output. If the regulator has failed, you may be getting too much voltage into the electrical system and be on the way to frying other stuff.

Check the "part outs" in the for sale section. I'm sure there are many assemblies available siince I've never heard on one frying.

Mazda service centre told me that the bulb
Was on all the while which heated up the holder
Without the holder they remove the bulb for now.

Are you in Singapore? I don't know how many options you have on getting a replacement. You will also have to find out why the light was on all the time. There has to be a switch or relay bad somewhere.

RX8Club also as an Asia regional forum that you can post in and maybe get some local help.
