unless it was a cheap LED there no way its not brighter then a 1157 type bulb,,,,but the big thing to consider useing those BRIGHTER bulbs is HEAT they make HEAT and warp and melt lenses,,,find a good set of LED,S no heat,,less voltage drawl,,,save your lenses

I'm aware of the heat issue with higher wattage incadescent bulbs. For tail lights I didnt have any concern because they are on high output for a very short time. Their low power filament was same wattage as stock bulbs.

I checked several led suppliers, but it is very hard to find good quality leds. Lots of cheap leds out there.
