I cannot testify as to anything 'ricey', but the longevity of the LEDs
is a major selling point IMO.
(It seems easy enough to tell when driving behind a car with them
just because when they flash their on/off action is more abrupt, but
it looks OK to me...)
Your reply makes me wonder - is there some collaterally bad effect of
the car 'thinking' it has a couple of bulbs out ~other~ than just the
silly pictogram barking about it ?
(With the LEDs it would no longer be needed for that function anyhow ?)
I would think that between the lighter electrical load and the greater
lifespan of the LEDs that switching to them would be almost completely
beneficial.
Unless there are other bad effects I plan to try these myself as soon
as I find some that I like...they are still evolving and between the
prices and other changes I see no need to hurry.
(Pulling the dash and neutering the pictogram are not winter work...)
I suspect they will become standard & 100% OEM installed soon enough.
Early on I tried some 120V household LED replacements and learned that
it had been too early to try them just yet.
Best Wishes.
