help/question about license plate lights

so i dont know if its just me. but i could swear that the license plate lights angle towards the middle of the plate..like the left one angles toward the right and the right one angles toward the left. for example----> \ / but when i replaced my lights with LEDs, they now both point toward the left. for example ------> / /...
i thought i could just turn the left one to face right but it doesn't. does anyone know whats up?

I had the same problem, i just ignored it and changed it back to the regular bulbs when one of the LED's blew. I moved the LED bulbs around but it only points one way. Kind of weird.

thats really wierd. mine blew too. but i got new ones. the ones i got blew because i didnt get the right ones . which were ones that were ment for long time use. if you go to www.autolumination.com. they have ones for dome lights( which arent used alot) and ones for guages and license plate.( which are used alot) .. i accidentally got the dome light ones thats why it burned out.
