Maybe this is a car specific thing, like certain 2.0L engines that burn oil. Maybe some Beetles eat bulbs and others don't. Our 2000 burned out each bulb within a month of one another... after 4 years. The new bulbs were from Wal-mart for $4 each. Was careful not to touch the glass portion with my fingers. New bulbs have now lasted over a year. So.. one bulb replacement for a car built July 1999.

Others replace their bulbs monthly. No idea why.
