Very good find! Although, if I look at the posted picture very carefully you can see the "normal" bulbs sitting inside the housing...

Strange that they are stating leds while showing normal bulbs.

Oh red tail light. Oh yes, the E and think the C class both has it. It looks lovely.

The 7 has it? why not the 5?

The caption in the piicture says (bulbs here, not LEDs) in parenthesis. I don't believe there was a claim that the Active Brakelight system included LEDs.

rodybmw,

I've just read page 25 and can't find LED's mentioned in the text, only the description in the pics mentions LED's.
So I still believe it's a mistake...

That's interesting because in the UK (rest of Europe??) under normal breaking only the left half section (middle picture) comes on. On harder braking when BFD is active the second half comes on. I don't think the circular (fog light) bulb comes on. Maybe its different in the US??

Back up lights is the reverse light to me. That's the small white rectangle area in the pictures above. Is that what you're talking about???

I just don't know where a fog light would be? It's not shown in the US manual.
