I had that problem with my regular bulbs, always the right not the left. Then I got projectors and havent had that problem since.

Are you touching the glass part of the bulb before you install it?

maybe you should chek the voltage of both bulb harnesses and see if the right one is putting an execively higher voltage...

any chance the ground is flaky on the one bulb?
if it were something that wasnt solid, maybe the light flickering a bit would be enough to prematurely age it (light bulbs dont like being turned on and off a whole lot)
not sure but maybe the flickering could be so fast/subtle that you wouldnt notice it visibly
