A LED is a Light Emitting Diode. It has virtually no side scatter at
all. This is why you see them in arrays.
A front, optically designed lens may serve to scatter the output of an
array sideways. But glare must also be considered for those behind.
I may be wrong on this, someone correct me if I am wrong, but here in
Oz, there doesn't seem to be a day/night setting for the taillights,
resulting in excessive glare at night.
A friend of mine who rides a motorcycle once told me he avoids these
lights like the plague on wet nights, as the glare makes seeing thru a
wet visor impossible!
Cheers
