I've almost had my Vette for a year. Since its purchase I have replaced all the light bulbs i.e. Head lamps front blinkers and rear taillight/blinker bulbs. Replacing them is relatively easy. Just wondering why they keep blowing out. My own conclusion is the ride is rather stiff and this jarring motion is causing the filament to fail.

Has anybody else experienced similar or am I the lucky one?

Your are apparently the lucky one. Mine is an 08 and I don't think I've replaced a single bulb yet and I am approaching 100,000 miles.

IF all the bulbs are affected I'd take a close look at the grounds. There are about 7 or 8 located all around the car. Start with the 2 closest to the BCM and the drivers side.

All original bulbs on my 2007 w 80k+ miles. What's a bit surprising is that I still have all the original bulbs operating just fine in my 1992 Toyota MR2T (purchased new) w over 200k miles (!!)

Maybe you have an issue?

If the alternator voltage is higher than normal bulb life will decrease. A high voltage transient may have caused the problem too, but only to the ones that are normally lit.
