Default Will my fog light burn the housing?

Hi, I read a post bout how hot the housing gets after 2 hours of driving. I just checked mine, and it was on for about half an hour but its HOT!!. Will it burn the housing? eventually? If so then maybe I will get HID fog light...

Yup, that was my post. I would also like to know if the high heat will cause problems to the housing...

I am guessing that no one got their housing burned because of this, since our IS is only 1 year old at most...

i have a 07 is350 1 month old? fogs get hot even when on for about 10 minutes... i have aerotect film on mine but im pretty sure that doesnt reflect the heat THAT much... hid fogs do look nice and im thinking about switching to them - i have optic blue aerotect on fogs and they give it the hid look (temp. is hot tho...) so ill probably change fogs to 6k and stock xenon to 6k... the blue they give off is nice
