Wow I've never heard of such a thing. Sounds to me like the bulbs are
getting the incorrect voltage. I would like to know for myself what
could cause this just for the sake of knowing.

get the new ones put in by a ford dealer. they know the proper way to
install the bulbs. they are burning up because you are putting them in
wrong, or you are putting in the wrong ones.

There are some bulbs that require you NOT touch them with your bare
fingers while installing them. It seems that oils from your fingers
shorten their life. Could this be your problem????

All Halogen lamps with single glass envelope are thus affected!!!

If you do touch the glass, use alcohol to clean off oils

All the above assuming that you are NOT also going through batteries
every year or so... that would point to faulty voltage regulator.

Use brand-name bulbs and DON'T touch the bulb glass during installation. If you
notice condensation inside the assemblies, especially after a rain, you have
leaking housings and they need replacement.
