IIRC this model of Accord has the ellipsoidal projector lenses ? My 1999 A4 B5 (facelift model) had these and I seem to recall that bulbs didn't last as long as I had experienced in cars with conventional Fresnel lenses / reflectors. I put it down to the likelihood that heat builds up in the smaller and fully enclosed ellipsoidal lamp unit (typically used for aesthetic reasons by stylists) but this is merely my conjecture.
As other posters have commented: use good quality bulbs. There is of course still a chance that you have an electrical fault.
I test drove an Accord Tourer 2.2CTDi Executive over a weekend in 2007 but ordered an A4 B7 Avant instead due to my badge snobbery, I really wish I hadn't because I genuinely liked the Accord and the Audi turned out to be a thirsty unrefined creature. IIRC the kids particularly liked the electric tailgate on the Accord.
