The next Mercedes S Class will ditch incandescent bulbs entirely, using
nearly 500 LEDs instead, thus saving power, performing better and
largely eliminating the need to replace failed bulbs.

But I'm sure that should any of those LEDs fail, the bill will bring
tears to the owner's eyes.

Undoubtedly, but at least the chances of that happening are remote. If the
LEDs survive the guarantee period, they'll probably outlast the rest of the
car.
