If your bulbs are blowing out every month and a half, there's something wrong with the bulbs...what do the bulbs look like when you change them? Are there black bubbles on the glass? If so, then the bulbs got dirty (fingerprint) and heated up on that spot. Let's hope your electrical system is okay.

For my high beams bulbs, which are used for DRL, I just use regular Canadian Tire bulbs which have lasted over 2 years now.
