[s-cars] lights

[Robert Rossato]

Personally, I'm not a big fan of LED brake lights & turn signals.  Call
me old fashion, but I prefer the warm glow of an incandescent bulb and
how it ramps up and down.  LEDs just seem kind of, I don't know,
unnatural.  

And spare me the safety czar statements that the LEDs light up a half
second quicker.  If that 1/2 second makes a difference, you're following
way, way too close.  What is arguably, IMHO, a safety improvement is
switching to euro tail lights with the amber turn signal.  There is no
decision to be made as to whether you just saw someone tapping their
brakes, or a turn signal (I've lost count of how many cars I see with
only one brake light).  Just say no to red turn signals.
