Reverse gullwing is what these LED types are called.

I don't think you can use normal leds like this. Fitting upside down won't
work for all the SMT LED packages I've worked with.

If you look "a bit closer" to the LED chip, you will see a metal
I am not certain if SMT LEDs light on their backside, but the ones I
have used do not. One way to test this is with a continuity check on
a multimeter--you can usually get a little light out.
On the other hand, I have used these previously with the names "gull
