Default Lights keep burnin out

I have an 03 XLC 1200. I bought it new in 03. I've had a constant problem wth my left front marke light going out. Turn signal is fine. I've replaced the bulb about 3 times. Light will burn out with in a short period. Any ideas?

if only the left front bulb, I would check for shorts. if I'm not mistaken, the wiring for that light goes into the handlebar doesn't it? check where it enters the handlebars, and where it exits.. that would be my first guess....
