They are NOT OK for taillights. They get hot enough that they will melt your lenses and damage the reflectors.
Considering that I have over 300 hours of run time with the halogen bulbs (I keep my lights on during the day on 2 lane country roads for hours on end) there has been zero deformation to lenses, housings, etc. I removed and cleaned the lenses and housings 2 days ago - zero problems.

I would like to know where you get your 'facts'? Can't be from first hand experience.
