I made my first license plate bulbs in 2003, when white LEDs were relatively new. I crushed the glass out of a burned out bulb and soldered in the 3 LEDs and a limiting resistor. They are still going 11 years later. I've only had LEDs in my car 2 years now, but so far so good. I expect them to last the life of the vehicle.
My first LED conversion was a headlamp back around 1998, when each white LED cost about $8. It was a small fortune to a highschooler, but I was able to go from a battery life of 2 hours to 20.
