Why do my tail lights keep burning out?
either the wrong bulb, or the connecting points in the bulb housing are corroded/ dirty/ not making a good connection causing excessive resistance in the circuit. resistance creates heat, heat burns out filaments.. or it could be the wrong bulb. easiest way to tell is if one tail light is brighter than the other one.
