And if you think the designers of those bulbs have any liability if your lenses become damaged, you're kidding yourself.
There is a virtual army of personal injury and product liability lawyers who would have a lot to say in response to that interesting statement. Any product made by any company for any purpose whatsoever, including and especially automotive products, have product liability issues from both specific lawsuits and class action lawsuits. Ever noticed how many recalls there are in the automotive world? They're not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.....
I've come across several sets of 240 sedan taillights with the backup lenses melted, and they were running standard bulbs. If you think you can't melt them by doubling the temperature with new bulbs, you're wrong.
The bulbs are not the only thing different about the design here. I have no doubt you are correct in what you are saying about the temperature of the bulbs themselves, and that your concerns about it are well-founded. Halogen bulbs do get quite hot. But these bulbs are encased in a really beefy ceramic insulator that is virtually non-existent in the OEM design. So it seems really obvious to me that the makers of this product addressed the very issue that you are raising.
