Default Sockets keep blowing.

I have a set of aftermarket black housing turns and it seems like lately, my sockets keep blowing, assuming due to moisture. I've already replaced them so I'm kind of running out of options. I was thinking maybe if i replace the socket and put a new bulb into it, i could silicone around the bulb to prevent moisture but the only problem would be replacing the bulb. Does anyone else have any other solutions?

Put dielectric grease on the bulbs when you install them. Available at AZ.
