Default headlight issues any suggestions?

My buddy has a dyna wide glide and his headlight bulb keeps going out. First it will be the low beam then the high beam. He has gone through 5 bulbs this this past week...Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Thanks everyone!

check the voltage going to the bulb. Sounds like it might be getting to many volts.

Or a bad ground, too much voltage could be the problem to.

Could be a bad batch of bulbs, or to much vibration. If it were a voltage problem it wouldn't be just the headlight.
