One theory is the sun reflects down through the lens there and bakes the paint. What would be your thoughts on tinting the projector glass or maybe just the bottom half of it for a remedy?
My last post was in response to this I meant to post with it. Sorry..

Ya, I have had that issue on my own lights, I swapped out the dual fulfillment bulb and installed LEDs, also swapped out everything else I could with LEDs to cut down on heat.

I never though about the sun baking the lens and focusing the light. Makes sense that could be the issue. I wonder if a lite tint on the front of the lens would fix it.

I can tell you I already tried the high temp paints and it bubbles faster than Krylon. I think we need to come up with a small spacer to fit behind the shroud that pushed the lens back enough that the sun can't reflect off it. Nothing major but 1/4 may fix the issue. Or use a light tint on the face of the lens to cut reflection down.

I am about to rebuild mine with a ton of bells and whistles, I will try it out and see if it can be done. The LED Turn Signal Bulb I use is same length as the stock so I will have 1/2 to play with. I'll take some pictures and see what I come up with.

Anyone want to hook up computer fans to there lights ...
