Wait for it... they're working on LED headlights.

LED tail and indicator units could be made in a "diffuse" style. That is,
clusters separate LEDs set into vehicle's sheetmetal skin with some
distance between the individual LEDs. Set in any shape you like... say a VW
symbol. Inconspicuous when not switched on, but glaring when activated.

I'd thought of this for putting such units into windshield pillars and
trunklid of the Bugaru roadster I was thinking of building (or is that
unbuilding?).

Maybe a large blue VW symbol built into the side of a van?
