I have not heard of a rating for operational hours of LEDs used by BMW. Modern LEDs will probably be in the tens of thousands of hours. Certainly much longer life than Tungsten filament bulbs.

What I am not sure of is whether the angel eyes on the BMW are LED. I have a feeling that there is a single light source and that the ring is a light guide.

After-market angel eyes are made using multiple LEDs.
