i dont know what you mean by 'normal/ led bulbs ? -

in any case , the dectane units are sealed and the bulbs appear to be part of a circuit board - so no , they are not replaceable individually.

That's like asking ' How long is a piece of string' :shrug:

LED's have the capacity for a ridiculously long life - there's no delicate filament that 'burns' like a conventional bulb.

This dectane drl bulbs actually are kind of fragile. This is my second set that "burned". Basically half of the signal led died. (Only 2 out of 5 signal led that work)
