| (They are hotter and not recommended for the later plastic tail  lights)
 
Hi Bob-
 
Contrary to what you may think about the halogen bulbs being hotter  and not 
recommended I have used these in my BJ8 "Blackie" for at least 10  years 
without any problems at all. Never a melted lens and people are always  asking 
where did get my bright brake lights?
Just my personal preference but I also use halogen bulbs in the dash lights  
as well. These do illuminate the instruments so well that you do  not have any 
problem reading them at night. FWIW I guess this all really  started when I 
got my first set of 7" Marchal headlamps with halogen bulbs  by Sylvania at the 
Sebring 12 Hr. races in 1964.
