Burned through 2 Sylvania 2057's in 2 weeks. Brake filament works fine, tail filament is breaking. Anybody else had this problem? I'm on my last bulb, and if this filament breaks I'm thinking about going with LED instead.
Thanks,

I honestly think it is just due to the crappy roads here, and my refusal to slow down to go over those long speed bumps at work. I was just wondering if anyone else has found heavy duty filament bulbs or something, or if I should just go with LED. LED is considerably more expensive, but they should last forever and there is no filament to break.
