Replacing Stop light bulbs every 3 months or less.
I am just wondering why these bulbs are not lasting more then approx. 3 months or less. Do not drive at night.
It is the same on both sides.
I am not a High mileage driver and take steps to reduce the bulb use by taking foot off of brake and putting on emergency brake when possible. ie. coffee drive in where I wait in line.
I have been using NAPA brand bulbs.
I know they are all made over seas but has anybody had this issue and what did you do to improve it?
In other words ... what Brand is the best/better if any???

3057 LL bulbs, either Sylvania or Phillips, the LL stands for long life. Perhaps a squirt of electrical contact cleaner and some dielectric grease
the CHMSL bulbs are 921, also can benefit from cleaning and grease
