LED Tail lights

Post by Nutmeg » Wed Feb 27, 2008 12:15 am

So I've read recently that the individual LEDs go out quickly on these lights. Does anyone know the life span of the lights? If they go out relatively quickly, are they easy to replace?

Thanks. :thumbup:

That is very comforting to hear. I recently purchased mine and so far they're great.

If they do decide to blow up I hope it's within that year warranty.

All right, sounds like I don't have much to worry about.

LED's should last 10 times longer than any normal bulb, regardless of configuration or size.

Just make sure your connection is strong and the connections are firm.

They are. I might take mine apart and colormatch them via HakNSlash how-to. Not sure if I have the balls to do so though.
