Question rear lighting

I bought a 2007 LS brand new and have never had an issue with the lights.

im guessing its a short somewhere. could there possibly be water getting into your light housings? that could cause a short/burn out

My cavalier used to eat taillight bulbs no matter what i did. It could be receiving slightly higher or lower voltage than it should, if you're still under warranty, try bringing the car in for a diagnostic.

my 06 has had the same lights for 3 years...but they are all LED...

My cavalier (a 94) has had one set of new brake bulbs since I have had it. (7 years now on these bulbs)
My flasher unit has gone out 3 times though. lol.
