If you go to this page of the website http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...rake-turn.html and look at the bulbs in the 2nd selection box under the ones you purchased ,at the bulbs 1157 Dual & 1156 Single Contact BA15 High Power SMD LED Automotive Bulbs
with the LED's not only on the top but also the sides of the bulb you'll see they are a "360 degree Viewing Angle" bulbs which throw light all the way around the fixture, but they cost quite abit more then the ones you bought.So most likely it was a misunderstanding from the buyer and not the bulbs fault  hope this helps and congrats on the super amount of posts you have made! |
All of your information is about 12 volt bulbs. There are, indeed, a lot more choices for 12 volt. Since I'm at 6 volt I got one choice only on this page:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...57-x12-24V.htm I bought the only bulb available for tail/brake light for 6 volt. I did have a choice between 15 degree viewing angle and 100 degree viewing angle. I bought the "wide angle" 100 degree viewing angle bulb and that's what I got.
