Hi ~

I'm just wondering...

Does the bulb get hot enough after some time in operation to remelt the hot glue that's holding it on to the reflector?

I fixed my tail light housing in my Volvo wagon a few years ago with hot glue. It gave out from the heat generated by just the tailights. I can;t believe headlights would last one day, er evening. :)
