<VV> "Brite" Bulbs get dim in a hurry

[JVHRoberts@aol.com]

Yep, there are a couple of alternatives here. 
1. 2357. They plug right in, and have brighter brake lights. 
2. Turn & Backup Bulbs These guys have halogen 15W/50W 1157 replacements. 
I've had them in my Z for 4 years now, no problems, and a LOT brighter.

I've been trying to use the "Brite" tail light bulbs sold to replace a 
standard 1157.  The Bright bulbs are, no doubt, noticeably brighter than a 
standard 
1157; only problem, the bright bulbs are only lasting a few months in 
service. 
Has anyone had a similar experience with the "Brite" bulbs?  I am having the 
same experience with all three Corvairs in which I'm using the bulbs.  
Sockets, wiring, voltage, all fine....bulbs just blow out wayyyyyyy to soon.  
And a 
follow up: has anyone else found any other GOOD 1157 substitutes?

Thanks in advance,
