I currently have the stock red tailights with LED strips inside them to form rings. However, its a pain to maintain as each time any of the LEDs blow, you have to replace the entire strip. I've been looking at alternatives for taillights. I want to stick with LEDs and with a clear lens.

The other two choices I see are the LED taillights that Devin sells and the factory LED ones. Someone mentionned that individual LEDs can't be changed, so I'm basically screwed once an LED blows. Are the factory ones replaceable individually? Or are they integrated with the unit too?

If theres no good alternatives, I may just go back to bulbs.

Individual LEDs cannot be replaced on stock LED tails. I don't think this is possible on most light assemblies using LEDs since I think they are soldered on. LEDs have an extremely long life span. I don't think you need to be worried about LEDs going out unless due to defect.
