Bulbs keep dieing in my driver side projector.

Just replaced my headlight beam in my halo projectors about 3 weeks ago. I went with silverstar ultras. Now the driver side one is dead again, only 3 weeks later. Anyone had any bulbs dieing fast in these? I meen it could be something simple with just a loose wire. Maybe the old one never was dead in the first place.

Are you touching the glass part of the bulb whenever you put it in? That will dramatically affect the life of the bulbs. Another thing that people have been having problems with is that one of the prongs in the connector is bending and not contacting the other side of the connector I had this problem, but fixed it with a small screwdriver and 5 minutes of prying to get it right.

Yea i hope its something like a loose connection. If its a short thats gonna suck. Bulbs are to damb expensive. Gonna try the old bulb I took out in the other headlight to see if its actually dead. Thanks for the input.
