yep you should put some kind of heat shield ,especially if you are running hid's . i did that last year and the bulbs on the high end( go out in 3's) went out from the heat from the hid's. i used the metal foil tape this time around when i added the halos, but you definitely should,its a job you don't want to do over and over again. this is how the new job came out:

I highly doubt heat had anything to do with those LEDs going out. I've got the exact same strips stuck in my bike, some of which are directly against parts that get hot from the motor. They go out because of broken solder joints in the strip, which can be a combination of manufacturer error and too much bending.
yeah,i have 10,000 k blue and the strip started to separate on the side where the main headlight lit up up top. the other side was fine, this time i used aluminum tape to shield that area as well as give it a little more strenth, i used strips from oznium and they are great about replacing faulty items.
