Are you careful not to touch the glass portion of the bulbs when you put them in? Touching the bulbs will deposit oil on them, which can lead to a significantly shorter life span.

If it is and if it's a brand name bulb and/or you purchased it from a reputable retailer, I'd take it back for a replacement.

I know I used to have problems with Sylvania Silverstar bulbs back when i had my focus. Used to go through almost two sets a month.

Buy stock bulbs....I had problems with all these ultra bright things when I had my stock housings. Finally I just used stock lights and they worked for years until I went to Hella's.

Check the harness in the Hatch. Serious.. you don't want to have the same prob i have currently. Some ppl reported headlights blowing and parklight fuses going as a symptom for my prob.

There could be another issue, just recently had this in my Subaru. All of the sudden it started burning out my bulps here and there, so I had to look into this.
Check the voltage on your battery. If it's putting out more then it should then it's a regulator inside of your alternator. I bought a used alternator of one member and it fixed the issue. My voltage on the battery was normal once again. Hope this helps.
