How obsessed are you with led

Tail light that is. I see many cars on the road now with oem led tail light. This fad is getting to me actually. I saw a Rav4 with led but the FJ Cruiser regular tail light are not led. What is up with that toyota. How does car maker decides what car should have led. I mean of all car, a Rav4 (their newest car) has led. I am jealous for sure.

I know the M6 and M3 e46 has it too. The G35 has it. But my favorite led tail light are the one seen on the infinity FX. The infinity FX tail light design are awesome.

Come on bmw.......:sad0147:

I don't like LED tails, they look unnatural and classless.

Tests proved time and time again the drivers respond quicker to LED taillights of the same brightness than traditional bulbs.

i love LED. what i dont get is why 335's dont have LED's that light up when car's stopping? the reason why people use LED's coz they light up quicker than regular bulbs... safety feature

I don't understand what your point is. The 5 and 7 series has LED's too.
