^ Huh? There are plenty of LEDs in the taillight assembly. In fact, AFAIK the turn signal is the only non-LED light in them.

^ Ah yes, forgot about that one. As for the OP's question... not sure. It would have to be some kind of warranty.

maybe im misunderstanding but there are 2 wire harnesses for each tail light with a regular style bulb that attaches to them. I actually just installed 09+ tails on my 07 a couple months ago

Hmmm now that I think about it there is also a small wire that breaks off from the harness that plugs in. Maybe that lights up LEDS? I was under the impression that the bulb lit up the entire tail light making it look like an LED. But I guess one bulb is for the reverse and the other is for blinker. So yea what does happen if the LED burns out? lol. I just payed $775 for these tails, lol

^ Yup, the harness splits and one bundle powers the LEDs. LEDs are supposed to last a REALLY long time so it shouldn't be a problem. But if one did burn out, I honestly don't know what would happen. My first thought would be warranty, but since it didn't come on your car, I don't know.
