The car came out in 08, its not like they did research before it came out.
I have seen people stick HIDs in the halogen headlights, blind everyone and after 5-6 years, you see the chrome in the headlight housing burn away from the hid bulb.

Not a problem at all, the bulbs do not get that hot, sometimes they are cooler then stocks.
Keep in mind, your Angel Eyes are always on no matter what, and many people here on the forums have put 30K+ miles on there cars over time without a single problem.
My own 335 Coupe has had them on for 3+ years now.
