For those with aftermarket bulbs

Has anyone noticed with aftermarket bulbs if they make some type of film on the back of the reflective housing part or a darker area right where the bulb(I am guessing from heat)enter the back of the headlight from the bulb?

In order for that I would need to take the headlight apart again. I wonder if that happened cause of the type of bulb or cause of the wattage. I have never noticed that before in any of my other civic or my 03 I has last year.

I had that happen after I had my first set of HID's, I personally think it is a wattage thing. Maybe from the bulbs being too hot.
