We have had to replace the bulb on the passenger side five times in two years. The driver side has yet to be replaced. What could be causing this to happen repeatedly?

Purchase name brands like Sylvania/Borg Warner etc. then check ground on header panel where radiator is and for good contact when bulb is installed. Do not touch the bulb with hand/fingers the oil gets on them from your hand and shortens life drastically.
