It's also significant to point out that the LEDs should last the life
of the car easily.  If your brake lights are burned out, they're not
doing anyone any good.  Think to yourself, "how many cars have I seen
on the road with a burned-out brake light or turn signal?".  Now think
about when the last time you checked your tail lights was. :)

I check when I change my oil - but that's still a pretty long period
of time between checks...
