When driving at night you can see the rear light reflections on the walls. When driving a premium car the reflection instantly turns brighter when hitting the brakes. With most standard cars, the reflection gradually turns brighter. I said most because it turns out that there are some standard cars which don't do that. One of them is the Mazda RX-7 LM race car. I'm sure there are more. Please reply if you know more:sly:
 
Doubt its THIS realistic, but could it be to do with standard brake light bulbs and LED bulbs?...

No, what's the point of rear lights if they don't immediately let you know one is braking?
 
Noticed this with the C1 Corvette. I don't get why it's not turning on and off like that on the actual car, probably another flaw of being standard... some Premium cars (mostly the American muscle cars) have exactly this effect with their brake lights turning on and off a bit slower than just on/off.
 
Is this the same kind of issue as with standard vs. premium headlights?
