What I meant is those tail lights are new and kinda like experimental. Everything that comes out first usualy fails after a while but after years of research they finaly make it right, think of CRT monitors and printer.
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.

And that comment about China was very ignorant and inappropriate.
My 2 cents.

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.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED
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.

OK let me clear things up cause everybody is after me now. So far all I have heard about LED bulb is that they dont last very long, HALOS in the projector headlights are best example so far.
As far as concern for China and Chinese products, Iam not against it in anyway. Matter of fact around 60% things comes from China. My point is its not worth paying $200 for something that may or maynot last. How many people here had the LED tail lights for over a year to tell that they last long. Chinese products might have a good quality but they are not long lasting. If they were, all Honda will be made in China,
but this not the topic of this post.
Everybody got different opinions and thinking but I personaly am against LEDs since I havent heard anybody without a problem.
Now please stop critisizing my comment, it was not meant to be in a bad way.
