Do you mean that the subliminal CW messages have had no effect on you? :-)

Hi Jonesy,

Like I figured, another sucker posting. Cadillac was doing this for
its 2000 model:

" The 2000 Cadillac DeVille was the first vehicle to go into
production that utilizes HB LEDs for its rear combination lamps
(RCLs) as well as for its CHMSL. Many of the benefits here are
intangible-examples are the "jewel like" appearance of the RCL and
the ability to provide the tail light function with a particular
shape associated with the DeVille line. There are several tangible
benefits that can be measured, however, including reduced
electrical load, reduced mass, warranty savings, and mass
production quality improvements.

Although the Cadillac DeVille is the only production vehicle with
a complete LED rear combination lamp assembly, several other
recent car makes and models have incorporated LEDs into various
signal functions. These are primarily limited production luxury
cars, such as the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 5-Series, and Nissan
Gloria."

On the Lincoln Town Car:

"light-emitting diode array on the rear of this vehicle in a
research project at California Partners for Advanced Transit and
Highways takes data from the wheels and brakes and sends a signal
to following cars indicating the acceleration and velocity of the
vehicle."

which, of course, fulfills your anticipation of subliminal CW
messages. ;-)

As the old adage goes "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."
rec.philosophy.automotive may provide more details - this is clearly
beyond the pale of electromagnetic anything from anywhere.
