Default Burning through bulbs

I've replaced my front driver headlight bulb three times in the last 6 months. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?

Make sure that when you install the new bulbs you don't touch the glass. The oil from your skin will cause the bulb to die quickly. That being said, I think you have another problem if it is always the same light going out. What kind of bulbs are you using?

I apologize for the delay in responding. I don't drive too often, so I'm not always near my Disco. Anyway, the filament is indeed broken. I've been using Sylvania SilverStar H7 bulbs. Possibly the brand? Any recommendations for either investigating the bulb issue or a potential replacement brand?

I have used Sylvania SilverStars in most of my cars, and never had one burn out. At about $40 bucks a set, they had better last. IDK, maybe you have some vibration in that is breaking the filament. Could it be a grounding issue?
