LED Sidelight bulb for New Age
Hi,
I have an MY04 New Age wagon and have recently uprated the Headlamps to +50% Xenons. In contrast the sidelights looked very yellow so I bought some LED bulbs. Here's the problem. The LED's face forward on the bulb and are very directional but on the New Age the bulb goes into the housing from the side so they are very dim when installed as they do not face forwards. Does anyone know if there is a better type of LED bulb? The type I have are 4 LEDS;s in a small cluster with no diffuer
Any suggestions mucho appreicated!

Got rid of the PIAA LED's and replaced them with Phillips blue vision sidelight bulbs.
They give off a very crisp and clean white light that match the bulbs very well.
