maybe you touched the bulb with your fingers. take the headlight off and shake out the pieces, or shop-vac

Yea make sure when you change ur bulbs not to touch them with your fingers, cause the oil causes it to go out of blow, i think, hopefully someone can verify.

But i guess you should use a towel of some sort when changing.

try cleaning the bulbs with rubbing alcohol. Cuz the oils do cause the bulbs to blow out.

Ditto the gloves. Just to be on the safe side. You may think your hands are clean, but there are still tiny amounts of oil there that you can't see and they can and will cause some damage. As you can tell...
