Have you forgotten to turn your lights off at all after parking the car? I have run into this problem with aircraft taxi and landing lights while on the ground waiting for a clearance. No air flow equals no cooling. I've seen Beechcraft Bonanzas with holes melted in the lenses from sitting stationary on the ground for extended periods.
