Default Turnsignal bulb keeps blowing

alright im sure people are probably starting to get annoyed with all of my questions but ill throw another one at you....my front left turn signal bulb for some reason keeps blowing...i replaced the socket and that didnt fix it...now i noticed that the top of the light fixture is melted and disorted...so i dont know if that has something to do with it or if maybe its a bad ground?..but either way i can put a bulb in and itll work for a few days then BOOM gone...kinda frustrating

Are you getting moisture in around the bulb? Are you using electric grease on the bulbs? I have also been told not to leave finger prints on bulbs because it shortens the life of them, not sure if that is a myth or true.

that is true, but the bulb it is referring to is a halogen bulb, like your headlight because of the gas inside of them it will either shorten the life or blow the bulb.
