I had the problem HUGE before.
Most of mine were because of my system... first I stuffed the sidewalls in the hatch with this cotton batton sheeting and that made it much better... but I think my alternator was being taxed and was frying stuff because when it went I replaced with 120v and haven't had any go.
ONe thing I noticed is when one turn signal goes, I replaced both anyways and they lasted longer. A buddy of mine tried to explain one day how that works and I forget what he said, but it seemed to make a big difference to me.

mine did that, so I drilled a hole in the bottom of each lense to let water/moisture out and it stopped blowing out.
the hole is very small and is not even noticeable.1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula SOLD!<br />1999 Pontiac Firebird<br /><a href=\"http://members.sounddomain.com/tlight99\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.sounddomain.com/tlight99</a>Comment

It could also be you. When you replace the bulbs do you just use your bare hands to replace them? See its because your hands have a natural oil on them and its not too noticeable if you get it on the bulb but soon enough it heats up and blows it out. This kept happening to me and my friend who works at a shop told me to either use gloves or after I installed the bulb to clean it off w/ alcohol. I did that and havent had to replace it anymore.
