Do your Hid's installed in the fog light melt the plastic?

Anyone having issues with the fog light plastic melting because they installed hid's in there?

Thx guys!

your probably running 55W when you should be running 35W. 55W is only meant for headlights, too strong for the fog light housing. Hoping that helps

You sir are correct.

I already purchased the 35 watt hid's but was informed that those would melt the plastic, so figured I ask before I get them installed
