Yeah, pretty soon they'll be hanging LEDs all over the car - it'll look like a riced-out Christmas tree. How about colored LED's underneath too?

Actually the newer Audi LED's front strip are pretty cool looking. See them a lot in my rear view mirror. Infiniti just needs to add an option in the nav/screen unit to enable or disable daytime running and everyone can be happy.

every freaking car company is using front LED's now....

I think the Kia Amante was the first to use the front LED turn signal

but did you know Infiniti was the first brand to offer full LED tailights for all its models since 2005?

I'd just be happy with drls. The Audi LEDs look so nice because they are carefully integrated into the headlight housing complete with nice curves and curls and the leds actually have a housing of their own of varying width and thickness. A lot design went into those things, they are no afterthought, and consequently they look great.

Merc, on the other hand, looks like the car design was set in place, production of parts was tooled up and ready to go, and then marketing came in and said hey! The focus groups say we need LEDs ! Add 'em! Kia, on the other hand appears to have integrated LEDs into their design as well. Incidentally, they employ Audi's lead designer now.

My R8 had LED HEADLIGHTS as well as rear lights. They were pretty cool. I don't think I've seen any other car with them.

I hope they're easily servicable...granted 30-50K run hours on average but if not they can really be a pain, just one out and it looks like trash. My current problem with the Ironman mod.

Adding LEDs will not make me want to buy another G when I'm ready for an upgrade. They better throw a powerful V8 or TT set up under the hood.

4. Lane departure warning system.MB had this two years before Infinit implemented it

LEDs are the future lighting. Think about it:
1) They're replacing LCD TVs
2) LED light bulbs are coming out now to soon replace those energy saving CFL light bulbs
3) LEDs are being used on city street lights now- our city is slowly switching to them since they are becoming brighter and less expensive
4) LEDs use less energy, can be brighter, last way longer, and emit little to no heat.

Conclusion: LEDs are here to stay for a long time until some newer light source is developed or discovered.
