If the point is just to get the bike inspected as quickly as possible so you can register it and then troubleshoot the light later, why not try taking it to another shop? As long as it still lights up, medium while the bike is running and full bright when you apply either brake, it should pass. I'm sure there's a shop somewhere near you that is too busy to look too closely at the bike and just wants to see it shine and that's it. I'm not suggesting that you don't fix it eventually though, everyone on this list is right in saying that the melted socket is the symptom, not the problem.
