So, I decided to use the dremel to grind down the LEDs in front to fix the beam pattern. With the normal rounded bulb, the beam is too focused. When you grind it down and make it flat, it disperses, making the light more "ambient". I strongly suggest doing that. Here are some pics of the two front doors (before I did the rear doors...thats a whole process in itself).
