Not all LED lights for vehicles are created equal.

A great deal of them do NOT light up like an incandescent
bulb.

I'm not sure it's relevant - I'm talking about DOT approved units sold
all over the USA. I have not seen the effect you are talking about on
any vehicle - cars, trucks, buses, or trailers - and I've never heard
anyone mention it before, either. So, my belief is I'm safer with these
brighter lights that turn on quicker than I am with the original
incandescents that didn't seem to catch people's attention as much.
