Actually, they should be called "look at me, I'm a berk" lights rather than running lights...

 

My Trek has LED hi/lo beam headlight. Does that count?

TBH, running with foglights on helps stop one running into broken kerbs/potholes/pinch points/road tits and the other shit that clogs the roads. On a wet night, they often become invisible/covered in leaves.

And then plod whine at you 'cause it's not foggy. maybe if they arrested the council, it would be more productive.

 

I thought the new A8 already had all LEDs at the front (inc headlights)? Although I would have thought these would need to be huge (in LED terms)

 

One of my LED sidelights has just failed and is causing other drivers to have epileptic fits! Hope the quality is improved on production lights.
It does have the nice effect of making things appear to be going in slow motion.

 

Rave!!

Mark's got a point - most showcars look like they forgot the lights, because they are now ultra-thin. The Acura ASCC springs to mind.

Audi are still at the 'look at me' stage of making a feature of a row of dots.

Once the designers grow up then yes, more flexibility will be the option, mostly since the lamp assemblies will be less bulky & lighter. Bi-Xenons are big, heavy farqhars at the back.
