Which LED for curvy back light
 
I want to change my back lights for something brighter and more instant for when I brake.

Ebay and dealextreme are full of replacements that claim they are birghter. Has anybody gone for it and been happy? which ones did ya get?

By way of update and for others to use should they decide to I bought 2 sets of bulbs for the bike.
These: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2608656850...84.m1497.l2649
Which were ok but there didn't seem to be enough of a difference between side and brake light brightness.

And these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2906226980...84.m1497.l2649
Which are much better and I would recommend them as a direct replacement.

Hope this is usefull for someone.

It's worth paying for a decent LED light, too often with LEDs you get what you pay for. cheaper is not as good. Two very good points about the second link are:
Metal body for best heat sinking and they actually give the lumens (brightness) figure.
Dim and/or cheap will never give the lumen figure (because it's so poor)
