Yep, I know they are considered superior lighting to halogen bulbs. However, the LED strips that I see on Audi's, Mercedes, and Porsches, serve absolutely no purpose. They are a marketing tool that the respective car manufacturers use to make their customers feel special and elite because they are buying an Audi, Mercedes, or a Porsche. It's exactly the same as when BMW started putting halo lighting on their cars.
I for one am glad that Chevrolet hasn't jumped on the LED lighting strip band wagon. They already jumped on the halo lighting bandwagon (which looks badass on my Camaro btw)
