They are wired in a series of 4, so if one goes out, only 4 will go out.
But these are some of the best LED's on the market, I believe they are the same, or better than the ones they use in Audis, BMW's caddys ect.
When given clean constant power (I have them running at a constant 12v with a voltage regulators) they will last probably longer than the truck.
