Yea,  Any additional info would be cool. My brother got some at Auto Zone 
that only  shot straight out, and they looked terrible, so he took them back. I 
assume  you mean these shoot out light in all directions.  

thanks,
Sloane :)



Sloane,
Yeah, these have diodes all the way around the "bulb". I found out that the  
1157 LEDs in question are manufactured for the heavy truck industry, but are  
made with the standard base or wedge-base design, so will work on any such  
application. You can see a picture of the 1156 version of the 360 degree LED at 
 
the following website: _http://heavy-dutylighting.com/_

They come in white, amber and red. My brother was told that even though he  
was using the 1157 behind a red lens, he would have the best result  with the 
red LED. They're also less expensive than the amber or white, as red is  the 
natural color for LEDs and they're less expensive to manufacture. He got  them 
at "The Lighthouse" in Sacramento: 800-340-8216. I think they also have a  
location in Oakland or Hayward, CA
