How often should brake light bulbs need replacing?
As with any car part, the quality of the bulb and how often it is used will determine how often the bulb needs to be replaced.

Another factor that can affect the life of the vehicle is the amount of voltage running through the wiring. The higher the voltage, the shorter the lifespan of the bulb.
