to be honest, it'll be the bulbs, they don't last that long in an environment with vibration, heat, etc.
I'm assuming you've used a meter and checked they're still getting 12v when ignition+lights are on, as goggs said to be sure it's not something else that's failed?
If so, then yes just swap with LED's (obviously you'll need integrated resistors in the LED package, and also need to check polarity before soldering in) but it's a reasonable easy job to do.
