If you use them for taillights, get the tower style. The reflectors on the C900 taillights are designed to spread the light from the sides of the bulbs and illuminate most of the plastic lens, including the side.
A few years ago, when LED taillights were new, I saw a pickup that had LED taillight bulbs with the LEDs positioned so they only showed towards the rear of the vehicle. All there was to to indicate that he had pressed his brake pedal was a little 1-inch circle of light in the middle of each 4-inch square taillight lens. If you were behind him, you had to pay very close attention to what he was doing. I wonder whether somebody rear-ended him.
FWIW, I got green WLED-5 from superbrightleds.com to replace the instrument cluster lights. They're a vast improvement over the incandescents.
