Will I melt OEM Fog light housing?

Ok guys, I bought these same exact OEM foglight housings which came with the bulb about 3-4 months ago (in link below), and I am concerned about replacing the bulbs w/ HID's to match my headlights.

I didn't have any problems installing the fog lights (except for the switch not working, which I fixed). I decided to replace the halogen bulbs that came with the kit because they look like crap. I bought a new a fog light HID kit to match my current HID's in my headlights. Same temp (6k), and same watt (55) (different bulb). The problem I am concerned with is whether or not those bulbs will melt the housing or not. I have read somewhere off of a review that the high temp of 55w hid bulbs WILL melt it. Has anyone installed hid's in the same kit as I have and had this issue? If not, great! But IF SO...that means I need to replace the housing, right?
Is this a possible option? It looks like a genuine part and I am hoping it will hold up the 55w 6k hid bulb.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
