Ordered a new replacement light and have it installed so everything's back to normal but wanted to share a caution in case someone runs into this situation.

I used a Dyson hair dryer on high temp/fan speed setting...probably should've took my time and used low temp/low fan speed but that's hindsight.
This is probably the reason they went with LEDs with LCI.
