Headlight bulbs repeatedly failing

[racey83]

Hi as the title suggests I am have issues with headlight bulbs on my 04 plate m59. 

Thought I was just having bad luck with bulbs but it's done 3 in a 2 month period and always seems to be the passenger side one, though the first time both failed within 10 mins of each other.

Headlamp is secure not flapping around, connections are clean and secure and I've been extremely careful not to touch the bulb during fitting.

Voltage seems normal and steady with engine running at all revs.

So I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues and could shed some light on causes/fixes 

Thanks.

Might just be Chinesium bulbs.

Are you touching the glass with your bare fingers?

Think that was the case smutts. Funny as last two sets came from halfrauds and 3 failed quick time. Set that's been in now for nearly 4 months without issue came from local factor at a fraction of the price.
