Default Am I going crazy?

I bought a set of these Solaris Invisibulbs from Bimmian.com.



I'm not sure these bulbs work correctly with our cars. First off, I bought the wrong front bulbs; needed the dual contact bulbs. Anyway, I reinstalled the original front bulbs, and put the invisibulbs in the rear. Started the car, and now my corner lights aren't working. Actually, one of the front corner lights is on, but the other is off, and both of the rear corner lights are out.

I'm gonna buy a new front yellow bulb, to see if both front corner lights start working. Aren't all four corners supposed to be on, when your lights are on? Then when you use the signals, the bulbs blink brightly.

My concern, is that these invisibulbs aren't made to illuminate the corners, only work as turn signals. The woman at customer service said the same. Then these bulbs are not street legal for NY, is that true.

Part of the problem is that I don't think the corner lights would be bright enough to break through the silver coating of the bulb. That is why they don't say they work as corner lights.

Lucky for them they always have a clause to "Check with your local and state laws" and "We are not responsible for customers ordering the wrong bulbs". She claims no one has ever complained about the bulbs before.
