What I've seen till now, the light has been on one side or both sides of the circuit, however on this particular one the light is on the top so when connected it will have a direct emission effect.

It is the one in ctgilles GB. They don't work well with MY08(flickers) but appears to work fine with MY09. Do a search for the GB and look at the rest of the response. Its blue-ish and is not that bright if used for eyelids. Otherwise its bright for interior. I did not use them on the corner light or license plate light. I think Eugenemon have a set for sell on Ebay if you are interested.

I know... I was in on that GB. Mine is MY08 and do not flicker. They work fine. Pretty bright on my eyelids as well as sidemarkers

That is interesting. For a while mine did not flicker either but one day I can see it flicker from the reflection of the car in front of me. I was disappointed. Mine was never very bright during the day. I manage to burn out one of the LED while I was trying to put it in the driver side vanity light. I did not know LED had to be put in a certain way

I was hoping I would not have an issue also. Maybe like others said, the LED are sensitive or something.

They should make one with LEDs on the side plus the one on top pointing out like that. Might work better for eyelids.
