all these led taillights looks nice, but the only problem i have is how long will the leds last? i have purchased led light bulbs and they dont last too long. so it seems like if you have any leds burned out you probably need to buy a new set or put your factory tails back on. any CL members with LED taillights have any feedback on any problems?

Do these lights turn on the "Burned Out" dash light?

Yes they do trigger the dash light, but that was easily fixed with some black electrical tape. As for night time pictures, I'll take a few tonight and try to post them up after I get off work

Do the LED bulbs come as 9 or so individual LEDs on one stem or base (If you want to call it that)? That's all you would have to replace if one of the individual LEDs burn out right?

changing the individual LED is no problem, in order to access the LEDs, would require to open up the taillight........................................ by the way McDj18, the GS & the taillights looks nice!!

why do these cost 400 and the Porsche and E-class ones are half the price from the same guys. shouldn't our parts be cheaper and not more expensive then Benz and porsche?

Those who drive benzes and porsches were already ripped off when they purchased their cars, no point of ripping them off any further.
