If a particular cruise control setup detects the current in the
stop-light line to tell that the brakes have been applied, the lesser
current drawn by equivalent LEDs might not trigger the cruise control
to drop out when the brakes are applied.

ps -- That's not a good method IMO anyway because the lamps might be
burnt out, circuit bad etc.  But it's a lot more convenient than
having to mount a switch at the brake pedal, or install another
hydraulic switch in the master cylinder.
