when you put new ones in, are you touching the bulbs with your bare hands?

could it be a matter of wiring, something electrical, thats too odd, perhaps you are shorting something out forcing it to surge to bulbs and blow them...?

Are you using the stock bulbs or some like Eurolite or similar brand Xenon SUper White Bulbs? I ask because my Eurolite low beams kept buring out every like 2 months but the stock ones last a few years. My Eurolite high beams have lasted over a year and still working though. I am going to try the Farenheit low beams now. But I think the stock ones last the longest.

Check all around the bulb socket for any bare wires or anything. Also, check to make sure you have the correct rating fuse in for your lights.
