auto manufacturers, use led more and more, why? is it economy? to be green? none of above, if you noticed first led, in cars, were stop lights,(and still are for the most part) led lights up faster, so you see car in front of you brake sooner with led, than incd. how much sooner? at 60mph you have extra 5-7 feet, according to tv program i saw, but it isn,t all, leds last longer, more visible in fog, and you don,t need reflector, so entire taillight assembly can be sealed,(if all lights are led), and flatter.
my 06 accord has led stop lights, but incd turn light, in the same housing.
