Tail light and Stop lights burning out 850 1993

Anybody have any advise on the type of bulbs to use for taillights and stoplights?

I had the bulbs ( the top bulb that has the small head ) indicator inconsistently flashing for almost a month then it burnt out. I replaced with generic bulb from AutoZone and it immediately burnt that one and the other pair of same bulb in same assembly.
I replaced both of them and now they are fine but the stop light bulb is doing the same. For the last two weeks the indicator light comes on sporatically when touching the brake pedal.

Do you have to replace both bulbs at the same time? That is the only thing I can think. It's like they're inseperable twins that have to be together forever.

Help!!!! If they do take special bulbs....where can I get them besides dealer.
