They do get hot allright. However, they are not mounted on the light assy. See last pic
I have replaced most of the lighting in and outside the car with LED's. I reasoned that the "light out indicator system is unable to tell me when an LED is out, I have opted to cancel it and therefore avoid installing a load resistor for every converted bulb. Back to the good ol circle check!
