I've never had this problem before, but you might check your sockets for rust/ poor grounding.

Usually your gaskets wear out and enough water/moisture gets in there and causes the buld to arc and burn out. The the gaskets look bad, replacement might be in order.

Like Crawler says, check the sockets. Especially the connector points. You can use abrasive paper to clean them up and di-electric grease for a better connection and help keep the moisture away.
