Driver's side DTRL keeps blowing!?

I looked around for a while and cant find an answer to this. My driver's side DTRL keeps burning out. idk what to do. this is NOT an issue of the lense melting just the bulb keeps blowing? any ideas??
Replacing bulb with exact bulb that was in it before and still blowing out. No bare fingers on bulb and i have used the grease. I'm sure im just missing something but any help is much appreciated!
THANKS!!!

 

Test the voltage actually at the socket?

 

well it works when i first replace it but only for about ten mins...

 

I think you can try replacing the fuse? I think its the red 10 amp fuse.

 

Sounds like a short. Check your ground.

 

ok i figured it out...go ahead and laugh but i wasnt getting the new bulb pushed all the way in!! i was surprised how hard i actually had to push it in. it was occassionally making contact but just not good enough. WOW...lol. Thanks for the help though guys.
