    well...there are two types of leds. normal ones and inverse concave.

    normal shine directly straight ahead.

    inverse concave act more like a bulb shining outward around the edge.

    do yours cave in at the tip? if not then ya...they will be dim. also...you 100% POSITIVE that they are in the right way? i swear they just look dim not out. ask airbus. it got us both.

    My bulbs cave in at the center. They came out pretty good once I turned them all the correct way. I am gonna clear the needles today I think. Do I just put finger nail polish remover on a q-tip and rub it off?? If so what color will they be when they are clear and the lights are on? Do they turn blue?

    correct. i also kindof put my finger down on the other side of the needle so that when scrubbing with qtip the needle wouldn't move. not sure if it's required but it made it easier and it's probably a good safety precaution.
