I had 6LED ones in my front corners before, and they looked OK, but the beam was very low-angle, so you could really only see the light from directly in front of the car. Even from the corners you can't see them. From the front though they're pretty bright. I have 4LED ones in there now and they look pretty good as well.

Rep Power: 812 LEDs are just not designed to work like bulbs. You can see them fine from straight ahead, but they won't reflect in the housing or from the side. Best bet is stick with bulbs.
