New Dome Light GETS HOT, Should I remove???

I just put in the PIAA's on the Map lights and door lights and a SOEI blue in the dome light.

Here is my problem after about 5 mins of being on you can not even tough the plastic underneath the light. Should I take this out? and if so are there any cooler lights besides this.

Here are pics of the Map lights
Door Lights which are PIAAs 19169

And the Dome Light. Even though it looks Super white in the picture it is just the way it reflects off the camera. It is all blue and looks awesome but i'm worried about overheating, what do you guys think.

Dome Light

Apperas blue in person just light of camera hitting it makes it look superwhite.

The whole light looks like the sides from a human eye.

it's gonna melt the casing if left on too much. not worth the melted casing imho. if you leave it on by mistake, flame city.
