Does anyone know what inverted bulbs means?
I have the angel eyes and want to change the top strip bulb to white these look the correct size but was stuck on inverted?

It means the top of the bulb goes in like a dish rather than out like a dome.

I've got a pair of these, nicely matching my xenon lights

They have 5 power LED's so give a lot of light

You would be much better with a 'XENON' LED They are single LEDs of W5W fitting and are much brighter and crisper colour than even multiple regular LEDs on one bulb.

I have fitted them to my lights with great results... see picture bellow.





They give this result... Maybe not shown best in the photo... but it’s a nice crisp white colour and lights the whole strip.



As for an inverted blub, this refers to the lens. It disperses the light over a greater radius through smaller distance. Bellow is an example of where i used an inverted LED.



As you can see it lights up the intended area without much light bleed.

I've had these LED's you have before, but my new LED's give a lot more light, as they shine in 5 directions instead of only to the front

There are no such thing as Xenon LEDs, what they are is SMD LEDs.

That's correct, people refer to them as xenon led's because the light colour matches xenon, but of course they have nothing to do with each other

I know, thus the reason for the inverted commas. As above its due to the colour output. They almost match the colour of my hids, unlike regular LEDs.
