No...don't use those. Stick with the hard plastic ones. The rubber ones cannot handle the heat and will melt and are more likely to start a fire.

Were you trying to replace the lamp with the power on? If you have had this happen several times, it sounds like either a wiring problem, the lamps weren't installed in the sockets propely, water got into the sockets or you didn't have the sockets mounted.
