The relay cannot provide "too much juice" to the bulbs - it provides 12 volts. It can provide less voltage but there is no way for it to make more voltage that is coming from the alternator/battery.
You just replaced all your bulbs before putting the second relay in and it took then awhile to start burning up again.
Saab bulbs (H7) do seem to have good lifetime. Either buy "long life" bulbs or buy them in advanve on eBay for $5/bulb
