I spent $160 on a large sampling of bulbs after I read their return policies. They actually recommend doing this. I bought some with wide angle and directional LEDs (110 deg and 15 deg). I can sit there and measure and measure and scratch my head for hours. it's so much easier to have a whole box of different stuff to try out. It's so much easier having it in your hands.

I looked at the right angle bulbs, but I think someone else here tried that, and they faced the wrong way. Plus, I wanted something that performs like the airstream factory ones that they sell, with a large array, where you can see the pattern in the stock lens.

I'm going to keep buying several samples for interior lights as they blow out. Yes, I'll spend a few dollars sending stuff back and forth, but it's cheaper than driving to a truck parts store. Yes, I think silicon sealant would work perfect. not only do the LEDs last forever, but they draw about 1/15th the load of regular bulbs.
