I have had failures of the brake light sockets and the hydraulic brake light switch. I replaced the melted plastic sockets with metal sockets keeping the incandescent bulbs and replaced the hydraulic switch with a mechanical brake pedal switch because I couldn't access the hydraulic switch easily to remove and replace. I find the incandescent bulbs draw enough power to cause my voltage meter to drop noticeably enough to verify that they are operating. Same with the turn signal lights. So, my wife is no longer called upon to participate in brake light checks.
