Default LED lights on License Plate

I ordered the Haulin *** laydown plate for my wife's Deluxe and thought it would be a good time to add some extra lighting to the rear.

I've been looking at the LED license plate frames but I'm concerned about the longevity of the bulbs. Anyone have any experience with these. Are the leds replaceable if they blow out or are they sealed units.

I have a generic 6 LED frame. I really like the look vs. the standard white bulb. I have been hammering mine for about 4 months, no issues. If the diodes burn out you will be hard pressed to replace them since (at least on mine) they are surface mount not bulb type. I figure if they burn out it would cost less to replace the frame that to buy the Rolaids needed to solder new surface mount LEDs.

Jimmers I bought mine from SoftBrake who I also got the relocation bracket for the bike as well. Have had mine for over a year with no problems and as someone else posted..if the LED's were to go out it would be a new frame for me as well.
Good luck,
