I emailed shark racing after talking to you guys in this thread and expressed my concerns with replacement LEDs once again in the chance that they may go out. I though I'd share with you guys the response they sent me, even though whomever sent me this email had no recollection of my previous conversation about replacing LEDs and didn't acknowledge anything i talked about the first time (guess that's expected when you deal with a company name instead of the same person each email), Anyways, Shark Racing emailed me back as follows:
If an LED goes out, then it is possible to replace it, but that would mean you would have to cut open the tail lights. And you also need a soldering iron, because all our LEDs are soldered on. If you are handy with this sort of thing. That way, you know what is involved in installing the LEDs, and you can replace LEDs in the future if they ever burn out. If an LED burns out, either one or three LEDs will go out, and the rest of the LEDs will stay on normally. If your order has yet to ship, we can send you some extra LEDs or you can request LEDs from us if the LEDs ever go out after you install them. The LEDs we use are very stable, and there is very little chance that they will burn out prematurely, but I suppose anything can happen. I will email you back with the status of your shipment and whether or not we can still throw extra LEDs in with your order, assuming that it has not yet shipped. Feel free to inquire further if you happen to think of any more questions.
