H3? I thought we use H4s...

maybe I'm wrong. I forgot.

but anyhow, check if you're buying the right watt...

why dont u just use stock bulbs? those last forever, plus they're the best in terms of intensity level... compare to those xenon bulbs... (except for real HID systems)

you'll find your answer in the title: H3 BULBS WITH PROJECTORS BURN OUT!!!

anyway, as capyoda said, double check the wattage. or could be you have a defective projector, if its always the same side the one that keeps burnig out
