What do you mean "in 10 years"? They look like cheap X-mas tree lights, especially the ones they are putting in the front of cars these days. Every cheapo econobox is going to have a pair of dotted eyelashes on their headlights in short order and the expensive cars will have long since ditched the "trendy" styling of them as passe.

Cadillac uses them to much nicer effect getting the advantages of the technology without the gaudy look of them by using Light Pipes. The Camaro uses them for Halos with light pipes.

The "Ice Blue" chevy interior lighting is also LED technology, in the dash, radio, and accent lighting (like the ABL). Sadly, they screwed up on the dash ABL in the camaro.
