Foglight housing and glass get hotter than Hell!!!

Installed the Jimcat foglight kit over the weekend. All wiring and grounding is correct, however I noticed the glass and housings get so hot that after a few minutes you would burn your hands if you touched them. They have the H11 55 Watt bulbs in them. Any info would be appreciated!!

only time I have ever seen that is by having the wrong bulb in the socket like a 9000 series instead of the H's just make sure you have the right bulb is at the top of my mind
