I’ve gone through two headlight bulbs in two years. It seems to be a common problem with the new CANBUS bikes, but I haven’t heard of any solution or fix.

Since you get a warning about it on the instrument display it's not quite as scary as it would be on some other bikes. I just switch to high beam and leave it there until I get a new bulb. Now I have a spare bulb at home, waiting for the next time it happens. At least it's a quick and simple job to replace it.
