First:

     Dave Bean Engineering, Inc.
     636 E. St. Charles Street, Star Route 2
     San Andreas, CA 95249-9564
     Phone: (209) 754-5802
                  (209) 754-5177 FAX

Second:

     Yes, these bulbs do get hotter. I would experiment a bit before
     installing and forgetting them.

     I posted about these bulbs several months ago so maybe someone on
     the list has already tried them out. On my car they are not a
     problem even though I have plastic lenses. On the other hand, my
     tail lights are not sealed inside (I can change the bulbs from
     inside the trunk) and I don't have reflectors.
