brake lights

Hi \I don't know why but I seem to go through brake lights very quickly.

They seem to blow for no reason.

The bulbs work properly

The holders seem a bit brown as in scorched and brittle

has any one got any spares or can you buy them anywhere, I think they unplug

Thanks in advance

If you mean your bulbs keep blowing especially if the glass bowl is silvered over then its a poor connection - usually the earth / bulbholder.

I would source a new bulb holder on flea bay and fit with new wiring to connector block.
