It's not the bulb. Your amp is the problem. Bulbs will cause a problem when there is a crack in the filament. Many bulbs work with cracked filaments and you don't know there is a problem until they fail completely. However when the bub is not lit vibration causes a high resistance / intermittent resistance path to ground to the cruise control amp and can make it twitchy. And another thing - bulb brands do not matter as long as the right wattage is used.
