Just check it every so often, I've had two of these self destruct from vibration, where the circuit boards had only been glued into place. I think it's movement from the light's flexible mountings rather than engine vibes, I reduced the amount of light movement by adding a penny washer or two to the rubber mount, which seemed to solve the problem.

Rubber mounting was there to try to protect the lamp filaments, but LEDs are more robust, so less flexibility is ok.
Will keep an eye on that, thanks.
The brake light is very bright,not shown on the pic,you'd have to be blind not to notice it.....
