Very good question. I have three answers for you, which you may want to sort in your own order of importance:
1. Give car geeks something to do, and keep their minds occupied.
2. Reduces the reaction time of the vehicle behind you by probably over 1/10 second. This translates to about 3 meters at a highway speed of 100 km/h (10 feet at 60 mph for the metrically challenged), which seems not very much, but that you will find to be a rather significant figure if your own car happens to be stopped anywhere within that range.

3. Pretty much avoid the risk of driving with burned out lamps. Thus avoiding a safety risk, a slight maintenance chore, as well as, depending on your jurisdiction, the chance of a fine, and being pulled over by the the boys in blue.
