A brake light that burns out quickly probably has either a poor connection inside the socket or a bad ground connection. Remove the bulb and check the socket for corrosion. If you find any, clean it. Then apply a small dab of dielectric grease (from any auto parts store) to the socket and reinsert the bulb. If you don't find corrosion, follow the wiring harness to detect where it attaches to a grounding point. Disassemble and clean the metal ground with steel wool. Then apply the same grease and reassemble. That should solve the problem.
