Have the MOD bug now, next project, upgrade interior lighting to LEDs. Any issue with longevity? Have read several threads stating just that. Thanks!

Well... not forever, but most likely will outlast the life of the car.

Not sure which ones your talking about...but from what I hear, later versions of products are usually better.
