I bought one from auto zone and it wasnt even close, gm said since it is an LED light it was supposed to last forever. You cant even disconnect it you have to cut it off

Just to clarify you are talking about the one that lights up the "P R N D etc..." right? If you are I'm pretty sure it's the same bulb that is used in the door panels, to illuminate the switches. It was a little tough to get out when I replaced it. It ended up busting and I had to pull it out with some pliers.

Fyi, I went out in the rain and pulled the cover and checked just now. Things look exactly as I explained.
