2012 4runner eating headlights

Over the past year and a half I've put 5 sets of headlights in my wife's 2012 4runner. She's got 85k on it if that matters.
This is getting old. I've only used Sylvania bulbs as I always have. First 2 times were the silverstars. After that I've just put the basics in.
Not to choosey with what side blows but the drivers side has blown the most.
No I have never touched the glass and use gloves everytime.

Anyone else have this problem or have any idea why this thing eats headlights?
