What is the LED brake lights that the Sport comes with. My salesman didn't even know. All it says in the brochure is "All- LED brake lamps.

New technology says that this is good.
They have better brightness than traditional bulbs and have 10X or better lifetime.
Only time will tell.
BTW - some Led (not MBZ) outputs light up radar detectors big time.

look at the 3rd brake light
the LED brake light is used in the 3rd brake light -- the one in the center trunk. You can see it as a sample.

Just in case...
...you were wondering, LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, as opposed to a bulb. FYI.
