Further to my comment about the strobing effect, I saw this article today:

What will they do with the modern rear brake light LEDs clusters? These also strobe at 100-200 x per sec. Only last week I saw (what I thought was) a Saab which I guess had foot brake applied - the cluster flashing at only ~50xps (50% duty); I could clearly see the flicker.
This is the bit that really gets my goat:
