I've given up with led's, cheap ones last a matter of weeks, get hot and set off warnings if not can bus.
Expensive ones are that, expensive to the point of not worthwhile (it's not like at home where saving power saves money).

I fitted LED for the number plate can't remember when it was that long ago 3-4 years and still working. Standard bulbs kept going out, common fault, but once led fitted no probs.
Give them a go, can always change back.

I tried led bulbs but decided I simply didn't like how they looked above the number plate... too directional. So for 1/5 of the cost of the led bulbs, I bought a pack of 10 standard bulbs which should keep me going for a while.
