I had the same problem with Sylvania XtraVision. I even tried using the rubber gloves when replacing. I ended up with the regular H4 bulbs (I think from Sylvania as well) and have not had a burn out in two years.
I also started shutting the hood much more carefully on a theory that since the hood can slam down on the headlight assemblies pretty hard that it will hurt their lifespan. I ALSO adjusted the hood stops because it looked like they were allowing even more of said possible impact to the headlight assemblies. Not sure which one of these did the trick though.
