what make of bulbs are you buying? At the end of the day you pay for what you get, if you're buying cheap bulbs they will be poor quality and only last a short time.

From Halford's £1.50ea, didn't think these were cheap, What do u suggest?

It may just be bad luck mate. Just make sure when you're changing the bulbs that you try not to touch the actual glass of the bulb, use a cloth or some tissue instead. The dirt/grease from your fingers will concentrate the heat within the bulb and may make it blow sooner.
