This is a common problem in cars with plastic headlamp housings. Its not the heat of the bulb but a poor ground at the bulb base. This causes an area of high resistance which in turn generates a lot of heat, and this heat melts the plastic housing. If you measure your fuel milage down to about ten decimal points you could also run extra ground wires to the base of the bulbs. :-D But... if this happens to you I would return it to the dealer because the only real fix is to replace the headlamp housing.
Remember when cars and bikes were made out of real metal? Well forget it... those days are gone and they ain't comming back :-D
