I want something that is going to illuminate the reflector nicely (side firing leds would help with that I would think)

Default I'll be testing some single LED citylights soon as I think the multiple ones are prone to failure

I examined the construction of the multi (matrix) style LEDs and while they do work I find they are very sensitive to voltage/current spikes.

I drove home from Quattrofest last night and got a chance to drive in the higher RPM range to pass on the highway and when I got home one of my bulbs ha2 LEDs burned out.

Once one LED goes the rest fail quickly as the resistance of the bulb changes.
