Known issue, faulty controller board. You should try to send it in to segway for repair under warranty, they should cover all shipping costs. If it is out of warranty you can try to replace yourself. Look for ES2 controller boards on Ebay and watch a youtube video how to replace it. It's not easy, but doesnt look too bad either.
Other solution is to just ignore it and buy an external headlight and attach to the handlebars, this is probably much safer anyway as they are much brighter than the build in headlight.
