Default Halogen 1157's

All this LED brake light talk got me thinking, what about the halogen option?
I know they throw a lot of heat: 15W low/50W high, vs incandescent's 8.3W low/27W high, but our brake lights/sockets are open, almost air cooled compared to modern sealed enclosures.
Anybody try them? Did they melt the lenses? I think the only issue would be when the brake lights are on and that's not long (at a time, anyway).
Anybody?
