What exactly does LED stand for? It is an acronym for light emitting diode. This means a type of bulb that does not use a filament to produce light. Instead, the light is made by electrons moving around. This is new technology, so it is not widely used as of yet because of its cost. However, since they LED bulbs last longer and produce less heat, they are starting to make their way into everyday uses.

The most common everyday use for LED mirrors is in side mirrors for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. These LED mirrors incorporate the bulbs into an arrow configuration or a strip of lights to make a turn signal on the outside or bottom edge of the mirror. Manufacturers are aware that 300,000 accidents per year are due to merging and lane changes. With these bright lights on the mirrors, cars in the "blind spot" can easily see that a vehicle intends to move left or right.
