Default Daytime running lights problem

Heres my problem, The bulb in each one burns out way to quickly and there always blown up or cracked, somes times they last a few weeks or a few days i always use the same bulbs so im stuck on what to do, btw i found easiest way was to change them was to flip the lights up and can easily get to it, i used to jack the car and do it from under but i learned this trick while i was replacing a new motor on my headlight...so yea any thoughts on this would help majorly heres a pic of my ride too

there a pain to get to, but you might want to check the sockets, and clean them with some alcohol

I had a problem with my drivers side day time ruin light. Moisture would build up and blow the bulb out every few days.

So i took the housing out cleaned the socket and used a bulb grease to prevent water gettin in and drilled 3 holes on the bottom of it and it dont happen any more.

Check to see if the housing is cracked and is letting in moisture
