2 Tail Light Switch problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2012

I leased my car in 2012, and have had to replace my lights at least 6 or 7 times. I have bought bulbs to replace my lights and then noticed they work intermittently. Mainly my brake lights and tail lights have been the problem however I have replaced head lights low beams and fog lights before too! I am concerned about the air bags as I have passengers that are a heavier weight. Thanks.
