Those lights would look silly on a classic mercedes, IMHO. A bit ricey.
I enjoy the white digital-esq gloom. I enjoy it even more knowing it saves me $$$ I can run my LED light for 7-8 hours a day every day of the year for a yearly cost of about 65-70 cents. A comparable (60 watt) standard lamp would use close to $16 of power a year! Not to mention it'd burn out 2-3 times and would need to be replaced. The LED is rated for 35,000 hours.
