Inspect the wires that go to the light for shorts or cracked insulation. If water or something like that get into the wire through cracked insulation, it can cause excessive current draw.
The only way to see if there is excessive current draw is with an amp probe. I suggest obtaining one and test the current draw of the circuit.
