LIGHT BULBS (BRAKE, TURN SIGNAL, 3RD BRAKE LIGHT) ARE BURNING OUT AFTER ONLY A SHORT TIME. APPEARS TO BE BURN MARKS NEAR BASE OF BULB, SEEMS THEY ARE BURNING TOO HOT/TOO MUCH CURRENT. THESE BULBS WERE ONLY 2 YEARS OLD, WITH 22000 MILES ON VEHICLE. BOTH REAR BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL PART OF THE 3157 BULBS BURNED OUT. ONE OF THE BULBS IN THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT BURNED OUT ALREADY. I REPLACED THE 2 BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL BULBS MYSELF AND TO PASS INSPECTION, HAD TO HAVE DEALER REPLACE 1 OF THE 3RD BRAKE BULBS THAT WAS BURNED OUT, WHICH WAS OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE. ($20). *TR
