Default Rear brake lights...A6 4.2Q

Interesting...29K miles and maybe 1500hrs on the car and the rear (not CHMBL) brake light filaments are toasted...one goes out and the other has blackened the envelope.

I replaced both (volvo experience with bulb out indicator caused me to guess that replacing one would just booger the display) the 1077 stock bulbs with 2057LL bulbs...same base and appear to be the same intensity on brake light, but maybe dimmer on plain taillights. Anybody know the specs on the 20577LL (Wagner krypton bulb) bulbs? CP, watts? Wasn't printed on the bulb base.

Sounds like a wiring issue. Check grounds ?
