I've already had three fail in less than two years of ownership. The right rear is the only one that hasn't burned out yet.

By the time I got to the dealer for the driver's door handle LED failure, the left read door handle LED had failed also. Both were replaced. At least I got them both replaced in one visit.

thanks for your opinion. I alluded to the fact that the entire door card has to be removed, the window glass etc before you can even get access to the inside of the handle area where the LED is placed

I was told by the dealership that the door card has to be removed to access the door handle LED light. It's not a simple job of just replacing the LED from the outside of the door.

From the service invoice describing work done to replace the door handle LED:
REMOVED DRIVER DOOR HANDLE, DOOR PANEL.
WINDOW AND WINDOW REGULATOR. REPLACED LED FOR DOOR HANDLE AND
REINSTALLED REVERSE ORDER. LED OPERATES NOW.
They seem to be pretty good at this. They do a lot of them.
