angel eye kits and high beam usage???

[dsbunton646]

anybody have the angel eyes kit on their busa? i have clegg's on my o8. i have heard that using the high beam headlight for more than a few minutes at the time can actually cause the lower ring of the angel eye kit to melt. i don't use my high beam much for that reason. i upgraded to an h.i.d. kit (high and low) and was told the h.i.d bulb would actually run a bit cooler temperature wise, but neither the hid guys, or clegg's could tell me if it would still melt the lower ring. also, i really could never get a straight answer on how long i could run the high beam before the ring gets damaged. anyone have any thoughts/experience/input. i would really like to use the high beam a bit more, but i really don't do a lot of night riding, so i will sacrifice the function for the looks. at least until i absolutely have to break the headlight housing apart again (not fun to put a brand new $300.00 headlight in the oven and bake it).

Weren't there issues in the past about a member or two that had them and they melted the front fairing?
