halogen burnout

2011 alpine. Almost all of my lights have already blown. Looking to replace with led's. Anybody else having this problem. What could it be? Power surge maybe. I'm guessing.

It's quite possible that when the bulbs were installed at the factory or the dealership, the service tech had greasy hands and didn't wear gloves. Halogen bulbs get very hot and anything on the outside of the glass, even fingerprints will shorten the life drastically. LED's are a good option, but if you plan to stay with the halogen bulbs, be sure to use a paper towel to handle the new bulbs.
