Re: WS Fiesta - - El cheapo Tail/Stop bulbs or fault?

I have also changed my taillight bulbs 3 times since early 2009 when I bought the car.
It's always the stop filament that burns out. I do a lot of inner city driving, and even in a manual that necessitates a lot of braking.
After the original Ford ones blew, I used cheapie bulbs from Supercheap Auto and they lasted about 6 months. I then used Narva bulbs, and I got a full 12 months out of them (wow!!).
The third change I have switched to Repco branded. They have been in for only about 2 months, so I can't yet comment on their longevity.
I've also had to replace my headlamp globes twice - both times I've used Phillips globes. I always change both globes whenever one blows, so they've never had mis-matched globes fitted.
Electrical fault? Who knows?
