Infinity may use LEDs for brake lamps cause they look "cool", but Mercedes uses them because an in-house study found that LEDs light up .25 seconds faster than incandescent bulbs. At 60 MPH, a car covers 1,320 feet in a quarter of a second. So that little extra time a regular bulb needs to light up, can be the difference between a stop and a smash. Plus, LEDs look cool!
Also, most of the newer Benzes have flashing brake lights if the situation calls for Brake Assist (BAS). The flashing lights cause the following drivers to take your braking a little more serious.
