Let's hope that they at least last longer - and stay at full brightness
longer - than incandescents.
Every few months I look (mostly at Superbrightleds, because they're one of
the few operations I trust) to see if I can get retrofit LEDs for backup
lights that will definitely out-illuminate the incandescents in my car.
So
far, none of them has been rated as high in lumen output as the
incandescents they would replace.
I did swap the taillamps, parking lamps, and license lamps for LEDs,
because
I got tired of changing burned-out incandescents. (Why is it that factory
bulbs last for years, and replacements last for months?) The LEDs are
adequate, but noticeably dimmer than the incandescents they replaced.
