1157 Led Brake lights

'87 Runner I'm looking for the brightest led brake lights possible. Don't care about the cost. Who, or where on the Internet has the brightest ones? There are so many to chose from it gets confusing after a while. I think that is right, duel element brake light 1157's. I'm getting tired of the close calls at the traffic lights. Living in Florida with old folks. The regular lights ain't cutting for me any more. Thanks people.

what kind of shape are your lens and reflectors in?
if they are like crap consider new ones in addition to your LED bulbs...

Elton's idea of adding additonal lights is great...
a source I have had good experience with:

Just keep in mind that most places have laws regarding the maximum brightness. You get a cranky Johnny Law with a headache behind you and you might be looking at a ticket. Happened to me in Wisconsin on my Kawasaki. Only a warning, but I still had to change it out.

I have used a headlight restore kit on the lens so they are in great shape. Just need the 1157 or equlivent bulb for the socket. I'll be using the stock location for the bulbs. Just looking for someone who uses a led brake light, which one and where they got it and mostly is the mother bright when you hit the brakes. Thanks again
