    Did you wear gloves when installing? You need to keep the oil from your fingers off the bulb or they will cause a hotspot and burn out quick.

    Are you running aftermarket halogen bulbs? A lot of aftermarket bulbs have a short lifespan from what I have noticed I was lucky to get 7-12 months out of them before they burned out.
