I've heard it only is an issue if it is a tinted bulb, otherwise I haven't really heard mass amounts of people complaining about melting.

I think it will only melt if you bought a different Wattage then the stock 15w bulb. otherwise if you stuck with the stock spec of the bulb and the output you should be fine.

as long as you ordered the proper wattage gp thunder bulb, you should have no issues. I had gp thunders on my e60's ae's and fogs for almost 3 yrs without issues...
