the superbright leds lot have angled bulbs. However... they won't look
right in that lamp unit, even if they fit.

I tried putting clear lenses on mine, but decided in the end to go back to
normal ones. Had some clear ones on the front indicators. Somehow, they
don;t look as bright as amber ones. dunno why.

 
Did you just fit a clear lens and orange bulb over the original lamp unit?
The "proper" clear indicator units feature a reflector built into the lamp
unit, which the orange-lensed units do not, that creates the correct level
of brightness. As far as I know, this is only applicable to the later style
light units which have the lens and lamp body permanently joined and not as
seperate units.

If anything, I would say that the complete, clear units give a brighter,
more distinct light.
