Default Running Light "Meltdown"

Awhile back, after reading some posted suggestions concerning increasing light output of the running lamps,(and head lights), I installed Sylvania Silverstar High Performance Lighting bulbs, 9145ST, as running lamps in place of stock lamps. They certainly increased the light output, but on one side, the high-powred lamp has now "melted" the bulb receptacle, causing necessary replacement of the entire lamp receptacle in the bumper. Has anyone else experienced this issue???

Your commments will be appreciated. I hate to give up the extra lighting power!!
Thanks,
Borregoman
