you kno there is actually a pretty easy fix but imo it shouldn't do this due to the cost. the fix is to drill a hole in the plastic so the front has som breathing room. if you've noticed most car headlights have holes with lil rubber tubes facing down. i had a car that di this with some aftermarket lights and it did not have the tube so i drilled some small holes in it, fixed the prob. but like i say for the $$ it shouldn't do this..

The non-'A' lamps were vented at the rear. The 'A' lamps are purged and filled with dry nitrogen, then hermetically sealed. They will never fog up at temperatures above -40 degrees. This same technique is used to protect the optics from fogging in the gunners primary sight of the M1A2 tank, the EFV and the MK 46 GSW gun turret.

Stop riding, same as you would if your ECM, coil or crankshaft position sensor failed.
The odds of any of those types of things failing is equal to or even greater than having that LED lamp die on you.
