Mercedes-Benz GLE, a newly unveiled model, is now available with an LED projector mounted on the mirror.

The Mercedes-Benz has just been unveiled and is now available with an LED projector mounted on a mirror.

The LED projector with company logo is a very prominent feature in a list of the top 10 most useless options offered by automakers. BMW already offers it on its 2-Series Convertible, and Mercedes-Benz now does the same. However, the LED projector is placed at the bottom side mirror, where you would normally find the puddle lights.

The image projected, just like BMW’s, is large and emits a strong bat-signal vibe. The GLE Coupe and GLE Coupe are available with the optional mirror package. This includes an automatic folding exterior mirror and an auto-dimming backview mirror.

Mercedes-Benz has offered similar gimmicks before. A few years back, they introduced an lit three-pointed star to the grille on select models.
