Ford Transits seem to eat high level brake lights but not sure if that's just crap bulbs...

The bulbs in the rear end are smaller watage so will have more fragile filaments, that could be a reason as could driving down bumpy roads, especially if the boot is full of stuff.
As for the Transits, the high level brake lights are mounted on the rear doors aren't they? If so, imagine how many times those doors get slammed each day, each slam causing trauma to the filaments...................
