It depends. You might ask your dealer's service department or email them a question. Or search for an answer (or post a message) on an online enthusiasts' forum for your specific make/model of vehicle (or even a generic auto forum). Some component failures are aberrations, but from my experience they're trends, so others with the same vehicle have likely experienced the same bulb failure and have dealt with it. Anyone you query will need to know your make, model and year of vehicle.
