Angel eyes LED life
How long are they supposed to last? I have the DRL set to "ON" even though there is no legal requirement for it, I just like the way it looks! It makes me wonder if I may end up with busted LEDs sooner than I expect.
Should I be worried? I realize that in European countries, among others, DRL is set to ON by default and cannot be turned off, anyone have any issues after several years?

As far as I know normal LEDs have a life of 25000 to 50000 hours. So even if you use the DRL's for 5 hour/day you are looking at over 13 years life.
