After much head scratching, and replacing the wiring in the cowl for the lights I realized the problem is the terminals on the back of the light are in a slightly different position than the OEM bulbs. Turns out the positive terminal of the taxi light was shorting out on the wire in the scat tube that runs from the inlet just behind the oil cooler to the muffler cuff. It didn't happen immediately after installing them, but it didn't take very long for the vibrations to wear through the rubber in the scat tube to expose the wire that keeps the tube formed. Once I realized that, I put an insulator around the positive terminal of the taxi light and never had a popped circuit breaker in the 200 flight hours since.

Easiest solution is to loosen one end of the scat hose and rotate it until a bend is created that pulls the hose away from the light. Alternative is to use lots of RTV on both the scat hose and the offending screws on the back of the light.
