Potentially related to what the bulbs are rated for. Most say 12v so if the voltage applied is greater, it'll shorten the lifespan considerably. Same thing with LED bulbs. You want to make sure all lights are off before starting a car. You'd be surprised what the voltage jumps to during start up. I've recorded as high as 16v in the past
