The only thing I can think of is to try a lower wattage bulb. I have seen a lot of mis-engineered lighting housings on a lot of vehicles. The ones I notice most are the chevy suvs with DRLs.
The heat from the bulb your vehicle calls for is too much for the housing. Try lowering the wattage by about 10-20%.

drilling a small hole works. i had the same problom on my 98. what it is the seal on top of the blinker doesnt seal tight enough water gets threw there gets on the hot bulb and blows up. if the hole is drilled it has a place for water to exscape.
