Had the same problem mate.
Went thru a few sets of the red bulbs as well, faded well quick.
What I done was get a set of Red LEDs from Halfords.
You will of course have to make sure you get the ones that have the correct fitment, made that mistake with the first set I got.
Then get a knife out, because your going to have to do a little chisling of the light surround.
The LED is just a little to big to fit in the normal housing, so just scrap away a little to get it in.
They last a hell of a lot longer mate, no fading.

lol i did exactly the same as u!
was a real pain chiseling out the light surround. I silicon'd my lights to the car body so couldn't take them out. had to chisel them from inside the boot.
