I could not remember what battery pack you have. If you have the one listed at that link you are fine.
(11.1 volt Li-ion) .

HID Bulbs Do not get as hot as Halogen lights. They run a lot cooler. One reason they are more efficent is they don't waste so much power releasing heat as a halogen light. No reason to worry, just don't put your finger right on the lens when it's hot.
