Irrelevant I know but A4 2.4SE.

I am on the third brake light bulb in 12 months.

Sods law, sitting in a traffic queue this evening, Police Traffic cop right
behind, ping, brake warning light pops up.........

I had my foot on the brake/clutch for approx 2 minutes when it blew. Revs on
tick over.

Same offside bulb each time

Might be the voltage regulator of that particular circuit. If the voltage
gets too high frequently the lifetime of a bulb will be shortened
drastically.
