replacing std lights with LEDs usually causes them to look "spoty". The reflectors aren't designed for the light output pattern..

umm... my LEDs reflect at the Reflector. so it works the same as a normal bulb. I dont have any Bright Spots in my tails at all. and my corner lights light up fully.

Posting for the original post, not to argue.
