Default cadillac cts brake lights

My boss has a 06 CTS and his brake lights didnt work so i changed them and they both worked and honestly 2 hours later he came into work and the left rear was already out??? He recently had them replaced at goodyear probably like 2 months ago so if anyone as any idea let me know please

Put in new bulbs, depress the brake, and then measure the voltage going across the bulbs while they are on to see if there is an electrical issue.

You should also look for signs of water in the lens. That will kill the bulbs and may even cause them to explode if they get too hot and come in to contact with it.

I thought that the 2006 CTS had LED panels?
