LED Taillights

Would someone that owns one if these verify what kind of brake lights that the current MLs have? I thought that the taillights were all LEDs but then I noticed one on the road that appeared to have LEDs for everything but the brake lights which appeared to be the usual reflector and incandescent bulb. Is this the case? If so, that makes no sense since the greatest benefit comes from brake lights.

Thanks.

Yep, no LED brake lights except for the one over the rear hatch.

Thanks. A $50K+ vehicle and they don't even put features that have been on $15K Kias for years? Very disappointing! Hopefully they bring it to full LED next year.

Even worse than that is that the last gen ML had it as part of the lighting package! So they've been downgraded across the board.

They do this so they can have something to "update' when they to a mid-generation update. BMW does the same things too. So dumb.
