Very odd, I would've expected that considering the cost of the LEDs, adding 
some monitoring to indicate blown LED-string(s) would've been relatively 
insignificant, and would be safer (IMHO) if you blow one LED on a dark road 
in the middle of nowhere some night.  The NHTSA should've at least allowed 
this option.
