First question for the group:

'74 GT. Noticed that a tail light lens appeared to be cracked.  Thought it
must have been parking lot damage.  Acquired a new lens (thanks Kevin) and
went to put it on.  Noticed that the lens wasn't cracked.  It had melted
from the heat of the tail/brake lamp.  It seems to be the proper lamp except
that it is a replacement rather than original.  Checked the other side and
found the same thing.  I obviously don't want to put a new lens on till I
know what is going on.  Is it neccessary to use original lamps?  Are
replacement lamps higher wattage and thus the damage?  Is it aliens?
