Spider Bulbs??

I was talkin to my friend online today and he told me about these spider-bulbs.

...

Yeah, that's what I thought. He tried to find a picture of them online, but couldn't. He said they were like a star shape and lit up with leds, i think. He thought they would look good in the Maxy's tails? Just wondering if anyone knows what he's talking about or if you have them.

Sorry it's not very clear what I'm talkin about, but that's about all I know.

I'm guessing he just meant regular LED bulbs.

FTW

I know exactly what your friend is talking about. They were in a magazine I read not too long ago. They insert in place of your regular bulbs in your taillights and are about the same size, but once they're in the hole they split and "fan out."

putting them in: O

what they look like in:

Then each "leg" has a few LED's on it.

EDIT: Found it...

I don't think it would look good in 4th gen tails. I'm pretty convinced it would only look good in in circular tails, or atleast cars that have circles within their tails (like the second picture above).
