Make sure the bulb surface touches absolutely nothing when you take it out of the package and put it in the housing. Don't set the bulb anywhere, don't touch it with your fingers.... try that....

too high of wattage, not enough space in there to dissipate the heat and you are frying the bulb, I constantly had the problem until I went with lesser wattage bulbs.
