BMW first came out with CELIS light (glowing rods) on E39 in 2001. Earliest Lexus with similar lighting is 2007 LS460. Moreover, famous BMW angel lights (first came out in 2001 as well) suggested other companies to develop their own version of distinctive lighting (see Audi LED lights). So you can say that BMW started the lighting revolution of modern cars introducing first HID system, then CELIS taillights and angel lights.
