Driver headlight keeps blowing

Got a little wild while i was in the trails the other day and was bouncing pretty hard and my headlight blew. Well now im on my third one and id suspect a short. This time it blew the bulb right apart so it must have got pretty hot. Any common problem areas i should look into before trying to figure this out?

Im not sure but that's a good place to start, the first time it did it the ring style clip popped off and the headlight came out and was dangling but the last 2 have just blowing and stayed inside. But now that you say that maybe when the first one came out it let some water in. Thanks!
