there's only about a half a dozen man made objects that are herd by the human ear below 40Hz,a pipe organ,thunder,the space shuttle lifting off,a jet airplane taking off or landing,a large canon,an atomic bomb ignited in your back yard and the heat wave afterward oh wait you would be dead so you would'nt hear it scratch that!,and maybe beating your hear against a wall less then 40 times a second..rap music is'nt one of them!thats 40-60Hz@100+db the moving air is under 40Hz

I've had all 194s in mine for about three years now with no heat related issues that I can see.  Those little halogens that were OEM are impossible to find.

I can guarantee those halogen bulbs would run hotter than 194's - that's why you're not supposed to handle halogen bulbs. The oil in your fingerprints can cause the superheated glass to fracture, which in turn can cause the bulb to explode.
 
As for running 194's, I've done it in every "disco dash" car I've had
