Is this electric problem?

Okay its going to sound like a puzzle:

First, I got a massage saying the rear right brake light is not working. I got it changed. Then in less than a week the rear left brake light stopped working. I changed that too. On the same day one of the rear reverse lights stopped working! Well, I thought maybe its their expiration date or something! So I changed that reverse light.
In less than a week the front right signal stopped working, the substitute lamp engaged. I changed it within two days. It worked for a couple of hours and stopped working again. I took the car to the shop, the checked the holder… there was nothing with the light, and the turning signal started working again by it self.

The front right turning signal worked for couple days then stopped. I thought maybe that dude is correct and there is something wrong with the holder it self. I was too lazy and didn’t take it to anyone. After a month the signal started working by it self!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the same time the rear right brake light stopped working!!!!
Well, I said hell with it I’m not going to change anything… and in less than two weeks the front left turning signal stopped working!!!!! Yup, now the front left turning signal is not working!

Its either this car is possessed… or the computer gone crazy!

It’s a 2002 btw manufactured in Germany on November 2001 I believe. It has 38K miles on it.

The dealer don't have reprogramed the ECU or checked from errors?

I had 4 bulbs go out in 1 week so I guess it's the usage of the bulbs. All my bulbs were rear bulbs. Both Licence plate bulbs and tail light bulbs.
