Question Exploding Turn Signal Buld

2000 Caravan
Left front DRL/Turn Signal Bulb went out.
Step #1: I replaced the bulb.
Step #2: Worked fine for a few days then stopped working.
Step # 1 & 2 repeated 3x
I am not sure on the first time it blew but every time after, the bulb was shattered.

I pulled the relay and did a visual inspection. Looked ok to my untrained eye.

The thing I don't get and that's driving me crazy:
It works for 2-3 days. I can understand if it blew the moment i turned it on but not days later!!

I have a VERY tight budget! Your input would be a huge help and I will pay your good deed forward 2x.
Regards, Jaymes

Welcome to DF
I would check to see if you are using the correct part number for the bulb. And when you replacing the bulb are you using gloves on your hands or just the finger tips?
