   Has anybody had a problem with this? My concern is the lens on the Morette may get too hot and cause problems of some sort, (gets quite warm with the standard bulbs).
   
   Or am I worrying over nothing?

   If you use UV resistant bulbs then the lens won't get that hot.
   
   It's the same with Angel Eyes too

   IIRC the morettes are glass so nothing will go wrong if you bung in some cheap £20 ebay HIDs.
