The fact that they are flourescent and running only 35W I expected them to run cooler, so should you guys. To be honest I was expecting and hoping the HID's would run even cooler. Not just 5 degrees cooler.
If the HIDs were the same brightness as the halogens, then it would probably be alot cooler. Since the HIDS are alot brighter, the temperature goes up
