Default non HID burnout problem?

Hows everyone doing out here in my350z land? Ok here is my problem I have an '03 base and i have had to change each headlight bulb at least 5 or 6 times. Now i am not exaggerating when i say 5 or 6. I have about 50,000 miles on the car and I dont think thats normal? Has anyone else with non HID headlights had this occur? I had a 99 civic si that didnt burn 1 bulb in 4 years... PLease if you have expirienced this let me know im tryin to go to my dealer and have them check the wiring. They wont do it cause they say its not warranty work ( i have an extended warranty) and it will end up being too time consuming/expensive, i might as well get a free bulb replacement which they have done about 5 times already. Im kinda fed up with it and I want a permanant solution. Thanks guys/gals!

I drive with my headlights on irrespective of the weather, had my left hand bulb replaced at 35k and the right went at about 37k. Well that's what I've experienced with my 350 anyway. Hope it helps.

yeah just had my passenger light go out at 25k, getting hid's in a week so hopefully wont have this problem anymore since HID's get a constant power source from battery i believe.
