Default Brake Light Bulb

My brake light bulb on the left keeps going. The bulb is turning white and going brittle. Its happened twice now on the same side, the other side is fine. What could be causing it to keep doing this?

Could this be due to aftermarket lenses? (Not holders, just the lenses).
