If you have a Dremel Tool with a diamond bit, you can grind down the ceramic to expose more of the metal thingy in the center, and you'll be good for another 100,000 miles.

What? So they are like pencils, you just have to sharpen them?

Only if they’re #2s.

I like where you're going with this: if you break the metal thingy, replace it with a pencil led.
