Last time I replaced them I also changed 3x SMD resistors on one of the PCBs for tail/brake lights from 4.7 ohm to 22 ohm this brought down amps to about 18mA per LED for the 20mA rated LEDs. This made them last, I sold car 8 months later and they were still working fine. The link to red LEDs I used on Amazon is in my previous posts and is still valid. Resistors that I used were from eBay, link is no longer valid but part number was SP123WJ0220T1E 22ohm, 3W. If you are using different LEDs you might need different value resistors.
For the indicator amber/yellow LEDs I got them on eBay, link is no longer working and I do not have part number. I did not have any issues with them after replacing first time so did not look into any details.
