Burnt-out tail lights??
Who here has had to replace their brake/parking or 3rd brake lamps in their '99 3.2TL?
So far I have had to replace all four brake/parking lamps and one 3rd brake lamp in the past month. I have 40K on the odometer.

43K on my odometer .... replace the right side once. That's it .... I don't used the third, since I have spoiler.

It just occurred to me that all the bulbs come as batches when our cars are built, so maybe your car just go a bad batch of bulbs. You'll know for sure if the new bulbs burn quickly too or not.

I've replaced 1 bulb at ~23k miles. No charge to me from the dealer. Seems a bit early to be blowing bulbs.. but I must say.. I'm much happier returning to the dealer to get some bulbs swapped and rattles fixed than having mechanical problems.

None of the bulbs have burned out yet... but then I only have a little shy of 7K miles on it.

Thanks everyone for the comments. It was just strange that my bulbs burnt out all in the same week. My dealer reimbursed me after I complained. Now I just replaced another three bulbs again. I do mostly highway driving, so breaking too much doesn't seem to be the problem.
I am just too bummed that my GSR at 88K didn't have this problem. I guess I'll just have to add this one to one of many complaints Acura will hear from me.
