Probably the housings are damaged by the heat from the DRL/Turning Signals/Parking Lights and allow rain to get in touch with the hot bulb causing it to blow. This is very common.
You would need to fix/seal the hole or replace the housing and to avoid this from happening again install LEDs and a hyperflash harness. Time for some switchbacks!

LOL!! That's EXCATLY what I was going to say... Look inside the lenses for water moisture and resolve the problem that lets the water in.
