Please help. Seen on 07 X3, 08 5 series, 07 X5, 7 series I think.
They are not dots, they are long red lines, with equal amounts of being seen through the whole line. One part is not brighter than another.
Thank you all in advance.

They are LEDs housed in optical plastic "pipes" - similar to optical fiber.
These are the latest in tail lamp technology. Instead of producing individual bright spots, they are able to spread the light evenly across the whole illumination area.
So you now have the quick response benefits of LEDs but the freedom to design tail lamps that is not made up of little red dots.

For now, in new cars...
Xenon bulbs are white
LED's are red
They make LED's in various colors, however only red LED's are bright enough for use in vehicles at this time.
