Bulbs keep burning out

I keep buying bulbs, specifically PIAA and RAZO for headlights and PIAA for foglights, and they keep burning out after like 3 months, is there some kind of electrical problem? the bulbs for the fogs i know NOW are wrong i got the 100W bulbs instead of the 55W but the headlights make no sense can someone tell me wut is a good hyper-white or close HID type headlight to get for the 2k se maxima?

headlights need to be 55w too...you may have melted ur harness already...check the harness for melted connections

You sure you're not touching them when installing? Grease / oil from your fingers will kill the life of the bulb because it heats up too much.

I've had the PIAA's in my Max (fogs and highs) since X-mas with no problems....but that is only about 500 miles of driving.

*edit*

The PIAAs have a 1 year warantee...might want to give them a call.
