Default Parking LEDs that DO NOT burn out in housing

I know there are a lot of failures with LEDs burning out in housings due to our halogen bulb and heat. So I was checking out autolumination.com and they have this new LED called "supernova" and it says:

Introducing the Super Nova

The Widest, Brightest and Best 194 168 W5W 2825 Ever Made!

Outfitted with the latest Super High-Flux low profile Leds.

Aluminum heat sink keeps them cool in hot & smaller housings to avoid heat related failure

Designed especially for gauges, and applications requiring extra cooling

12mm diameter x 23mm overall


Anyone know if these LEDs will work and not burn out or should I just save my money? I am running HIDs so the temperature in the housing does run cooler.

Thanks.

if no one has ever tried these, then i'll go ahead and gamble and buy them. i'm just gonna wait for a few more responses just in case someone has.

I have had this led bulb basically, without the heat sink for over 2 years now and they have never burned out so if mine haven't then the ones with the heat sink shouldn't. 2+years strong with the same LED bulbs in the housing and I do a lot of night driving and use silverstar ultra lights.
