Question light bulbs

I heard that light bulbs go out often on 210s. I am new to the 210s and had mine (e430) for about 3 months.
When I picked it up the left side marker bulb went out.
The other day I had a deffective light bulb again for the side marker but than it worked the day after

Now yesterday the right stop/brake light bulb went out when I started the car up.

Why is that happening so much on w210s.
Is is possible to buy a whole set of replacement bulbs to carry in a car? How much are those bulbs?

This is a known problem you should always carry a spare bulb might as well check the wiring harness on the bulb holder and the metal plate on the back of the tail light assemblies they tend to melt btw i'm selling the whold assemblies for $30+shipping.
