3rd brake light

Driving around town, I usually notice other rangers like mine (02 XLT 4x4 4dr Auto) just to see what they've done to them. Anyway, in the last few weeks I've been behind 3 different rangers in traffic and noticed the center brake light wasn't working. I thought that was odd. Then tonight, just out of curiousity, I put a brick on my brake and walked behind the truck to see that mine was out too. The tail-lights work, but the center light was out. Obviously I'll check the bulb, but could this be a poorly wired light or something? Maybe a leak in the plastic lens?

The bulbs seem to burn out a lot, not sure why.
