Can anyone shed any light on why my brake light bulbs keep failing? I've replaced the left one twice and the right one three times in the last 9 months.

Most probably a fauly brake light switch and brake lighs are flashing thus stressing the bulbs. Reset the switch or change it. Regards Peter

Not being funny here but are they good make bulbs, cheap unknown make bulbs can have very short lives.

Hi,

I know it’s an old post but mine was doing the same. The bulb should be a double filament. When the brake light failure message came on I replaced the build with an advised one but they kept blowing when I had my night lights on. Checked the other side and it’s a double filament because it’s a stop tail bulb.
