The right taillight/brake light on my '98 SL2 keeps burning out on me (but not immediately). This is the second or third time in the last year or so that I've had to replace it. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

On my 98 SL2, one of those lights in back (don't recall which one) burned out. Had the bulb replaced by Saturn. Same bulb burned out in 1 month, so of course they replaced it for free. No bulb problems for the last 10K or so. Just defective bulbs?
Judging from driving behind them, it seems like Saturn SLs have always had a high rate of tail light failures.
i have a 99 sl with 101k and amongst all of the other problems i've had with it, i have never (knock on wood) burnt ANY bulbs!
Ignoring his agents wishes,"Jay Bollyn" flung open the hotel room door and announced to the gathering crowd:
If it's the same problem we had with our 00 LS2, the dealer said it's not the bulb, it's the tail light assembly itself. The stupid way the bulb connects into the tail light "hole" wears out the metal coating and then the connection is broken, not the bulb. There was a redesigned tail light assembly Saturn put out and we had it replaced under warranty. Haven't had the problem since.

I have had several issues with my tail lights/rear brake lights having to do with the socket itself as well. However, I could find any TSB info at that web site(but the search method isn't the best). Does anyone have an actual TSB number?
TIA
