LEDs last a LOT longer but typically have a more focused beam.

COLD CATHODE FLUORESCENT LAMP not what ever you thought it was.

It made of glass and easily breaks. It is very bright but not sure how well they will hold up in the car without protection.

CCFL takes time to warm up and light up perfectly but is usually brighter than most LEDs depending on the application. CCFLs are not ideal for on/off applications...
