'Proper' LED replacements for incandescent lamps have a cluster of LEDs
pointing at different angles. But even these aren't as effective as
original equipment LED lighting these days which can consist of an array of
up to 30 spread over a large surface area. However some manufactures, like
Land Rover, are choosing to install quite small arrays, and even worse where
the amber turn signal array is a ring around a circle of brake light LEDs.
When the brakes are on, unless you are looking directly at one of them, you
can't even see the turn LEDs flashing. I say 'proper' above but even these
clusters are not legal in the UK.

The real problem is that LEDs are very directional devices as compared
with the filaments of light bulbs...
