Blast from the past thread, but....

Looking to replace almost all my lights/bulbs. Been looking into the PIAA W2 18W Xtreme Whites for the small, round, worthless lights in the front cladding. Dont want to mod any aftermarket lights in so a bulb should be fine. Came across some here....

Anyone that is using them notice any heat issues with outlying plastic and do they appear more blue than white? I dont want any melting and want to avoid Johnny On The Spot cause he doesnt like blue AT ALL in this area.

Also, anyone tried any sort of LED bulbs or conversions for these lights?
