I think you're going to see more and more of that as a styling trend as it does have a safety factor associated with it. With a low, small car (ie Lotus) - NOBODY sees you. Evan and the owner of the orange Lotus on here won't have the same problem as I do since their cars are brighter, but trust me, compared to the average vehicle on the road, this type of car profile is roadkill.
Yeah, a buddy of mine sold his Miata 5-6 yrs ago after constantly getting cut off and run off the road. At least a lot more than usual for the NOVA area...
I'm just not sure how LEDs will work better than DRLs when the entire car is small enough to disappear in the average blind spot. Which, with today's driver, is pretty much any place that isn't 10ft directly in front or the screen of the crackberry.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
