Blue LED Buttons

I just installed all the LED conversion bulbs from LEDautomotive.com. I had a couple problems with the outcome =[.



There are some hotspots as to be expected. My main concern is the second image. The left half of the buttons don't light up. This is weird, because there are two bulbs that light up the button, and they are both installed on the left(unlit) side.

Does anyone else have this issue? Both bulbs are turned on.

do the led's you used have a narrow angle of lumination? if they are installed from the left side and the right side has the hot spot, the bulb is probably illuminating directionally towards the right side.

Yea, I just think it's messed up that it's not working correctly. I bought it as a kit specifically for this part of my car. I'm going to email the website, and hopefully they send a better LED.
