I think these bulbs are not supposed to be any hotter than OEM. They are brighter but that comes at the expense of bulb longevity. Normal bulbs have a 300+ hour life and these bulbs have a ~150 hour life. I'll keep an eye on my lenses and report if I see any damage or not after I do some longer warm weather night time drives, or daytime rain drives with lights on.

Update

I've done a bit of driving with these bulbs on and the lenses and headlight covers still look fine - no burning or yellowing - so far so good.
