....I understand the properties of LED Vs. Halogen. My concern is not the heat emitted from the LED element, my concern is the heat generated by the circuitry in the base of the bulb overheating the connector.

A lot of these aftermarket LED retrofit bulbs have cooling fans and huge heat sinks in the base. They are there for a reason.

Thanks.
