Default Headlight keeps blowing

Any of you ever have this problem? My passenger side headlight keeps blowing. It started last week, and the first time I just figured the bulb had went and it was time for a new bulb. Then, two days later it blew again, then again after that. I looked closely at the connections to see if anything was loose or anything suspicious was going on......only thing I noticed was that the headlight lense had water condensation all over it, but the driver's side lense did not, so I guess water's getting in somehow and maybe causing it to blow? Any thought on how to fix it would be appreciated, thanks

This might sound stupid, but your not touching the bulb are you. is you touch the halogen bulbs they will blow cause of the oils on your hand. If thats not the case, it sounds to me like something is shorting out. Keep tracing the wires back and see if you can find a break in them. good luck

Take a hairdrier and dry out the lens this will get rid of the condensation inside and you will not burn out any more lights .
