L.E.D.'s are longer lasting, more compact and consume less electricity. Familiar as indicator lamps and later in powerful flashlights, the solid-state lights first found their way into cars as brake lights, an ideal application because L.E.D.'s illuminate more quickly than traditional lamps with wire filaments. Even if the difference is measured in milliseconds, L.E.D.'s can alert drivers sooner and help to prevent rear-end collisions. Until recently, however, they have been about 10 times as expensive as traditional lights, according to LEDs magazine, a trade publication. Now that is changing. Luxury cars are using the diode lamps in abundance, and they have already migrated onto more affordable vehicles. "L.E.D.'s have finally become cheap enough that we can spread the goodness around," said J Mays, group vice president for design and chief creative officer of the Ford Motor Company.
