yes fine, but they are getting obnoxious.. DRL not withstanding, it is becoming overkill IMO.

DRL's have never proven to be effective:

and now with all those LEDs they are distracting..

MBZ S-Class has 4 strips on either side, Audi is just sick with theirs, VW, Porsche, BMW (who started it all with Halos).. Etc.

when everyone has them, they cease to be useful as a saftey device. Take the high stop brake light, does anyone even notice them anymore? no because every one has them.

The use of LEDs for lighting is fine, but having them all over the car for decorative purposes is just annoying and played out.
