Well

Clean the plug, and all the corrosion out.

Check if there is water inside head light.

wipe new bulb with rubbing alcohol
Do not touch bulb to anything while installing it.

dude these are brand new bulbs that the wire thing is burning out

you are using 80W bulbs? didn't some people mention that they will cause the wire to melt because they are drawing too much power.

change the harness.....it's quite possible that the connections are partially melted (happened in mine) and they're keep flickering the bulb, killing it pretty quick

The answer is quite simple my friend. Your headlight is on crack.
