Either remove the tint or go with less wattage in the lamps.
Sorry Steve, but I had 10K HIDs and tinted lenses on the last car for 18+ months and no heat issues at all. Even a 10K light is putting out MUCH less heat than a traditional incandescent bulb.
It is not the fact that they are 10K and tinted, it is something else.
Hope this helps.
