LED Tail lights question.

What do you do when they burn out? The whole tail light. It's not like you can just pop in another bulb...

There supposed to last twice as long as conventional bulbs, if your are burning out you might wanna check your connection.

They should last the life of the car. I would probably just buy a new set.

I've wondered about all of those cars now that run LEDs. Would they be able to change out individual bulbs or would they be stuck purchasing a new set? Or would it be replaced under some kind of warranty since the LEDs should last longer than the car itself?

Yeah, sleeper, that's my question really. It's not just for those of you who can spend, what, 200 for a new set of tails now? What about the others. All these new cars running LED taillights, you really think they will last the life of the car? I know they last a long time, but eventually they are going to pop, one by one.

You could tell by looking at the cadillacs, the older sts's when they first came out with the LED tails. You see them on the road now with like half their brake lights lighting up.
