Sounds like a bad ground. When the ground is bad the amperage passing through the wire has a limited path. This excess energy gets dissipated as heat in the bulb hence the blowing. If memory serves, the ground to the passenger flight is low in the front grill near the light where it gets wet every time it rains. Often, this water causes rust and corrosion to build up between the grounding terminals. I went with higher wattage bulbs and had to rewire the headlights and fog lights with 10ga wire.
Another thing to check is to make sure there is no corrosion on the terminal that plugs into the lamp, and that the bulb is clean and has no oil from your hands from installation
