Default Brake light burns outs

My drivers side break light keeps burning out, it started slow like after a couple months now it burns out as soon as I replace it. The other works just fine. What do I need to replace?

Sounds like a short, check the harness for a bare spot contacting metal. It might be right where it goes into the body behind the taillight.

That sounds like the light housing itself. THe grands have a printed circuit board inside teh rear dirvers side light if I recall that will sometimes fail. You may need a new rear taillight housing.
