    I need a photo of the rear (corner) of a car with LEDs as the light source for the rear brake lights for a report I have to do.

    If anyone who owns a car with LEDs in the brake lights could take a photo for me, it'd be most appreciated (preferably with the lights on). Unless anyone knows a website where I might find a picture?

    Thanks :)

    The BMW 6 series has LEDs but I can't find a good picture

    Just for information, some of the newer 3-series, 5-series and 7-series BMW's also have LED rear lights (that are clearly visible as LED's). Other manufacturers do it, it's just that BMW are too deluded to put a decent diffuser mask over them so they look **** imho.

    Try searching for images of newer busses, these have LED rear clusters.

    The spoiler/wing on my new beast has LEDs along the length of it if that helps?

    Cadillac uses led rear tail lights. But they put thicker difusers than other manufacturers so they look like actual lights.
