Hi,
I have similar problem last time. Dealer changed the bulb once then suddenly the alarm came out again. Further inspection, dealer found the problem on the housing where the bulb sit (not the whole tail light but only the small part where the bulb sit). You might want your dealer to check on the housing instead of changing the bulbs.

My carrier (housing) was also replaced under warranty after changing bulbs didn't fix it.
The quickest thing to try if you're having a problem is to swap the failing bulb side to side (if right is failing, exchange that bulb with the one on the left). If the problem follows the bulb, then the bulb is bad. If the problem comes up on the same side as before, then the carrier is bad.
I did this troubleshooting to save my dealer (or me) any hassles. Once I told them my diagnosis and troubleshooting method, they immediately replaced the carrier.
