Default Headlights keep exploding, from moisture?

My right driver side headlights have moisture in them, you can see it through the lens and yesterday i just got my car driving again and i took it out, and it blew the bulb, i had an extra in the car so i replaced it and that damn bulb went too. Last night i took it out and i had to get another bulb and the same thing happened to that one, it just burst, is this from the moisture in that headlight getting on the bulb and its just exploding, this is a very pricey problem too if it keeps happening. If it is from the moisture how do i dry out the lens so there is no water inside, i do not know how it got there in the first place, i hadnt driven my car in about two weeks and we had a terrential rain storm and i guess some snuck in during that. Any suggestions would help! thanks.
Oh yea its a 96 integra

Do you touch the bulbs with your fingers when you put them in?

If there is moisture in the housings then it could be getting on the bulb also. If this is the case then it will cause them to blow. To solve this just seal the housing with a silicone or something like that or you could buy a new housing but if you do that I would get both just in case one is discolored. I'm suggesting this because i'm hoping that you know not to touch the bulbs with your fingers. I hope this helps
