Here, somebody patent this idea.

All LED's require a heat sink. It would not take much engineering to modify the heat sink so that it conducts heat to the metal hood surrounding the light.

BTW, LED's degrade faster with high ambient heat, their lifespan is extended with cooler ambient temperatures. This might explain why the LED's in SD haven't lasted as long.
