You could have an alternator that overcharges the system which created high voltage in the system which blows the bulb out or a bad ground which can overheat the bulb filament. This guide will show you how to check the alternator:

Here are the wiring diagrams for the headlights which are controlled by the BCM. I have seen the BCM have a voltage spike to cause this, but you never know. Also, make sure you replace the bulb with an OEM unit, cheap bulbs are a big problem and blow out quickly. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
