ALL incandescent bulbs get extremely hot - it's how they work, by heating a filament until it gets white hot...

Ever touched a household light bulb that's been dimmed *really dim* using a dimmer switch for a few minutes? Yup, still too hot to touch.

Depends if it's touching the plastic or not. If it's properly in the housing, it should be a good few mm from the plastic and shouldn't melt it. It wouldn't surprise me if it melted something it touched though.

I can't really decide whether or not I like this mod...
A part of me wants to buy one myself, and mod in a ipod-holder or something inside ;).

But a part of me also loves the way the original setup looks...

I am a non-smoker myself. And I never let anybody smoke in my car anyways so I guess I wouldn't miss the ashtray...

Or you could go to your dealer, ask for part number 7588FE and hand over a ludicrous £87.37 for the walnut ashtray!!!
