You might want to consider using a smaller bulb. I think you'd have the same effect, without the other possibilities. But it is a nice effect, especially on a BLACK car..... just my $.02
This is a
VERY good point. The lights themselves get pretty hot, I tend to only turn the lights on when I am moving, so as to increase airflow around them and keep them cool. But you are correct, they do get very hot. I make sure to not leave them on standing still to summarize. It hasn't been a problem YET. I have only had them for about a week in heatwave weather. Either way, thanks for your kind words!
