Heat will kill the LEDs. I guess heat and vibration might uncover less than perfect solder joints. But on the whole I'm keen on LEDs. You know that, what with my LED infested van. I wish that the LED 7" lamps were a little less expensive, else I'd have them on the van in a heartbeat.

My aux lights, cibie oscar sc, are loosing silver. The housings are still fine. I'd really love to have a drop in LED lamp for them.
