How come everybody is complaing about Halo Projector headlights that they either fade or stops working, because the LED bulbs have a certain life like all the bulbs but less then the regulars since the technology is newer. The OEMS in the G35s will last longer than after market cause after markets are made in China and everything made in china doesnt last long.
actually, just about everything is made in china these days. your statement may have been true twenty years ago, but now it's pretty idiotic for anyone to think that. don't get me wrong, there is still cheap, low quality stuff being made there. but to say that is the case for *everything* made in china is ridiculous.

your conception of LEDs is also 100% wrong. what people have said already is correct. as long as it's setup properly, an LED is most likely going to outlast whatever product it's being used with.

LEDs have an extremely long life span: twice as long as the best fluorescent bulbs and twenty times longer than the best incandescent bulbs...

The typical working lifetime of a device, including the bulb, is ten years, which is much longer than the lifetimes of most other light sources.
