Bulbs Keep Burning Out

I've got two seemingly unrelated bulb problems. My left front marker light (next to the headlight) keeps blowing bulbs, and my right rear license plate bulb keeps blowing too. I have noticed some condensation in the left rear tail light, that couldn't be related though could it? I searched around a little but didn't seem to find the right answer. It sounds like it couldn't be a fuse though as that wouldn't pop the bulbs. Anyone have a guess? Thanks!

Truly I did not make a sexy enough title....

Anyone? Maybe a ground or something? I don't really know where to start. Replace the bulbs again and hope it works? Does anyone know where those bulbs are grounded?

I would say to check your wires coming to the bulbs. It maybe could be a bare or chaffed wire and when you hit a bump or something its grounding and shorting on metal somewhere. Put new bulb in and start wiggling wires back from the base and see if anything sparks.

Also check voltage going into base.

These arent LEDs are they?

I'll take at the wiring, thanks.

Nope, not LED.
