Balanced bulb questions

I have read of problems with one tail/brake light not working due to it not being in balance with the other. I have time after time replaced BOTH bulbs in my 940 ..and that would correct my problem ...for a spell ..then I would have to replace them both again ..way too soon.

SO ...a few questions.

I now have a bunch of spare 1056 bulbs. Is there a way to read these bulbs with a meter and match them up to a reading that is right for the car ..to actually use them?

Does the third light come into play in this balancing game? I have only replaced the two together ..never three. I would think no, as even in doing that you would use a single bulb from another pack ...maybe not a needed match.

Other than the 3rd light scenario above ...what might I be doing wrong. I call myself cleaning and balancing it all up, but it always comes back pretty quickly ...good bulbs that will not light up.

Driving me nuts! Please help !

Thanks
