May be an overheat issue - the two troublesome light fittings may not have adequate space for the hot air to disperse - lamps run hotter and fail prematurely.
Check airspace above bad lights and compare to airspace of lamps that perform well.
Good luck...

Not sure if your spotlights are mains ( 240v ) or low voltage. If they are low voltage its possible that maybe the transformer is faulty.
Are you sure that you are installing the correct bulb ?
Do the two bulbs blow together ( at the same time )?
