Default extended look / followed LS430

Not sure what year but it had LED tails and was weaving in and out of traffic....this is the first time I got an extended look on how the LED tails function.

My question to engineers would be why the lower inside corners do not light up--is this like BMW where in a panic stop, the extra blocks light up?

The LEDs do respond well, and unfortunately, the high mount reminds me of Honda CR-Vs back in the day, where they just don't fit the car being a block with a bulb, but nobody's perfect (the 1998 Maxima SE already had a LED strip as did most cars by 2006). But you can't beat using a 7440LL bulb that costs < $1.50 when it burns out!

The guy had his 18's on so I would assume A/S tires--the rear wheels had negative camber.

When he got next to a last generation Hyundai Sonata, which I actually liked around 2011-12, I felt the LS430 was clearly the better looking car, my .02 when you see someone else driving what we're driving.

btw the guy cut me off 2X so I guess we're neither connected like twins nor Prius drivers!
