Gen II Altezzas--- Can you replace LEDs or are you screwed if a couple don't work???

I was wondering if those LED bulbs are easily accessible and if they can be replaced. I know I'd be P!ssed off if one of them burnt out and you couldn't do anything about it. Anyone know?

LEDs do have a finite service life, but your car will burn out before an LED does.

Yea, I thought so too until I started buying LED's for my tailights. I brought 6 Led's from APC and 3 of them started to flicker and eventually didn't work (what else did I expect from APC, right?). I went and got 2 from Super Street and half of the led's on one of the bulbs didn't work after a couple of months. LED's may have a long life of usage but the workmanship of wiring the led's is questionable. I'd assume they can be accessible on GenII Altezzas from the back but I'm not sure since I've never seen them in person.

LED dont burn out. They will just short if you throw a high amount of voltage to them or whats NOT reccomened for that particular one.
