    Please help me understand why does the rear bulb keeps blowing at lease 1 a
    month.

    You buy cheap bulbs? ;-)

    Seriously, get a cheap digital voltmeter (preferably one that stores
    peak voltage) and monitor the actual voltage in the car's system. You
    may need a voltage regulator. Or, check to be sure that the bulb is
    being securely held in place. If the bulb is allowed to vibrate in the
    socket it will dramatically shorten its life.
