Your post is so timely, thank you.
I just changed bulbs, and yes at 5k miles on my 2015.5 RX-3, with H4 on shelf from CSC. No mileage yet on new bulb.
I did notice that 2 of the 9 screws are longer and belong back in same spots.

Also and important, 2 very small ears on H4 bulb need to be flattened with needle nose as they don't line up with recesses made for OEM bulb. Without doing that easy task I noticed new H4 is not flush in reflector recess and perhaps slightly tilt bulb upward, maybe causing others melt problem?

Your info and pics are fabulous.
Until we hear from CSCDude I think I'll just run on low beam.
? 2015 reflector vs. 2015.5 make any difference on melting problem? Slight difference in reflector I think.

The biggest drag of this is I bought my 55/60 H4 from CSC some months ago and now, If I understand correctly its gonna MELT my reflector?
