Well, considering the lights were not designed to have anything layered on top of the lenses, the bulbs aren't really burning too hot. They're doing what they were designed to do. It's the Laminex that isn't up to the task. You could put LED bulbs in place of the stock ones, which shouldn't really ever burn hot enough to harm your overlay, but you could also just get a different colored bulb, too, and avoid needing a tinted overlay altogether. Can't do that with the headlights (not legally in most places, at least), but at least with fog lights you can just get a yellow tinted bulb or yellow LED bulb.
