Low beams on and off
If I'm correct, the 2016s still use HIDs for the headlight low beams. People who park in dark garages who have the automatic setting for headlights will have their lights turn on and off frequently for short amounts of time. Doesn't that significantly reduce the life of the low beams?

The important part:
The operating life of a light emitting diode (LED) is unaffected by turning it on and off. While lifetime is reduced for fluorescent lamps the more often they are switched on and off, there is no negative effect on LED lifetime. This characteristic gives LEDs several distinct advantages when it comes to operations. For example, LEDs have an advantage when used in conjunction with occupancy sensors or daylight sensors that rely on on-off operation. Also, in contrast to traditional technologies, LEDs turn on at full brightness almost instantly, with no delay. LEDs are also largely unaffected by vibration because they do not have filaments or glass enclosures.
