Well, it is a Mercedes product, and it is an electronic component. The two often don't make for a good combination.

I'd bet, though, that in the $300,000-plus Maybach, that M-B uses better components then in the rest of their product line.

I don't quite get it either. Are the lights in the middle supposed to be brake lights or something?

Here's a shot of the Maybach's regular rear lights:

I see I see. So it is a chop then? Understood

Btw, I have a question (though slightly off-topic):

What does EU law state regarding the specifications for automotive rear foglamps???
