I posted some posts. If you search my posts for “Trip computer bulb”, you’ll find it.

There is an LED bulb you can use, however, if you want to keep the same aqua display color, you’ll have to buy a small piece of lighting gel to convert the color.

Let me know if I can help.

I cannot help you with a melted screen.

I replaced my bulbs to LED, because I was concerned about the heat standard bulbs give off. When using LED bulbs, the color temperature changed so I needed to add a light gel to convert the color of the screen.

I think you’re gonna have to buy a new trip computer. Save or sell the old one for parts.
