Is there a lot of rain/moisture where you live. A lot of times water/moisture gets behind the lense and blows bulbs. I just filled the socket with dielectric grease and never had anymore problems.

Also, some people have had those sockets go bad. Check out the socket real well before you put the next bulb in. I had to replace both of mine, and no more blown bulbs since.
