LED is overall a more advanced product and as Ginter stated, have a number of advantages.
You don't have to like them or feel they are worth the difference, but if it weren't for small advances like these, we would all still be driving Ford Model T right now, rather than driving Accords!
I for one, would prefer a properly engineered and manufactured LED lighting system.
In fact I saw an Audi station wagon this morning on my way to work and it had a wicked set of LED tail lights that was both very functional and asthticly very pleasing, I also like the G35 and M35/45 tail lights which are are both well executed LED design and technology, where in contrast the LED tail lights of the newer TL are very functional, but boring in my opinion.
