Do LED's just burn out or do they

I noticed one of my LED's for the license plate is flickering like a strobe light at a disco. I fricked around with the connection and nothing changed, I may try to swap them around to see if it does it in another socket, Just didnt feel like crawling underneith today

I thought they just woun't light up (burn out), guess they give you a warning signal first then.

yeah on my pass. side headlight, 2 of the 3 blue led's are out. They flickered for about 3 days then nothing.

I'll be mad if i lose a single LED on my tails... that's pretty noticable

My license plate ones have done that before too and I swapped them out and they have been good ever since.
On cluster of my reverse light drivers side LEDs did that too then just gave up.
If any of them give up again i'm going back to regual bulbs, the more LEDs any of those bulbs have, the less they do this crap.

Considering the life span of most LED's (25k up to 100k hours), and factoring in the un-dimmable nature of LED's without a PWM circuit, it sounds to me more like there's a loss of current somewhere. I'd check the wiring before the actual bulb, but that might be apparent after you try swapping them out.
