Hahahaha ... Dr. Villa has seen this one ... The light which keeps burning out is wired improperly. Get up there and flip the black and white wires. I know, this sounds like black magic but its not.
Leave the wiring alone for the light which works properly. Disconnect the wires from the light which burns out. Wire nut the BLACK wire from the bad receptacle to the joined WHITE wires. Wire nut the WHITE wire from the bad receptacle to the joined BLACK wires. Leave the ground alone.
Send me a coupon for beer and burgers ...
Are you serious suggesting he reverse the polarity to a light socket??? Not only will this be a code violation, it will be quite unsafe.Hahahaha ... Dr. Villa has seen this one ...

This......My guess is when you switch wires around you are remaking a connection that wasnt good. Before you change the wires take a voltage reading at both lights before and after. Also start out with 2 new light bulbs.
