I've tried a few cheap led replacement 194 bulbs, only to have them burn out after just a few days of use.
Anyone have better luck with theirs? Any specific brands to stick with?

Im looking for something that will work well for the rear license plate, not to illuminate the gauge cluster.

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

I just bought a bunch from them for the gauges - so we'll see how well they work when I get them.
