194 bulb LED problem

Well for the hell of it I bought LED 194 replacements for my parking lights the other day, they were APC(yea yea i know). I thought these thins were supposed to be brighter than stock, these things are dim as He||. Whats up with them?

well, brainiac, it's an LED! IT THROWS LIGHT IN ONE DIRECTION, like a laser, making that nice reflector behind the bulb useless.

True that. That's why you need to buy really bright LED's that have a wide angle of dispursion and DIY your own 194's. I will be doing this a little later when I have the cash.
