I would go with V-LEDS.COM instead.

no matter which one you get, it won't give off that much light at all.

I've gone thru 4 or 5 leds for parking lights.

360 degree ones, single high power led, multi 90 degree leds, they just don't produce light in the reflector housing. don't expect it to fill it out with light, thats what i was expecting with a 360 degree led but it didn't happen.

personally i like single high power leds so it makes a white/bluish little dot in the upper corner of your drl/high beam housing. but just get em off v-leds like above poster said
