Headlight bulb keeps blowing out on the passenger side and i don't know why.

I replaced my pass side light bulb about 5 months ago with the same type of halogen bulbs that they come with out of the factory and one day i realized that the same side as before went out. Before that one went out i had a set of after market LED lights. these to be exact

i ran those LED's on my truck and they looked great! everything was plug and play they lasted for about 4 months when my pass side bulb gave out on those too. when i took out the bulb to inspect it one of the LED diodes was blown out. I wasn't too surprised by that because sometimes after market parts can be a bit cheaper quality.

 

But when my OEM halogen bulbs went out. thats 3 sets of bulbs in less than 2 years.

 

I am just wondering. Is this bad luck?? Have any of you had this issue before?? if you did what was causing it?? any troubleshooting tips??

 

I really dont want to keep buying light bulbs every 5 months even the halogen bulbs are a little expensive

You've likely done this already but I'd inspect the wires near the housing for wear.

Had the same problem, then the bulb would blow as soon as I plugged it in. Voltage at connector tested fine (power and ground). Replaced the pig tail (regardless of what the meter showed) FIXED! Been burning bright for a year.

had the same problem on the right side except it didnt blow the bulb it would just stop working. replaced the pigtail and it has been fine
