I wouldn't use those. You want a bulb that fills the reflector, that's what makes it bright. If you're not directly in front of the car it would appear really dim and hard to notice

yea, they would work pretty good if someone was going to use white colored ones as a fog light or something maybe? otherwise they wouldnt be to seeable as the other person said. i used to have red led lights you could get at autozone but they were all forward facing like that one. its just on bright dot if your directly in front of the light, otherwise you couldnt hardly see it at all
