Default Brighter Signal Lights?

Anybody have any experience with the 360 degree LED replacement bulbs? I want to get things as bright as I can when it comes to the signals. Do they make a great difference and how long do they last? Will they affect the electrical system in any way.
Thanks in advance

I will say this, we replaced the rear red bulbs on the wife's Iron with the red LED, but they only had bulbs on the outter side, meaning they weren't 360. They weren't much brighter than the halogens we took out. Its because of the reflectors inside the housing. The 360 LED will probably be good and bright

Check out radiantz led's. They are bright. http://www.radiantz.com/

There was a psot yesterday with a comparison to some other LED's, the difference was amazing.

i put the led in the rear signals and noticed they are not as bright as the stock bulb due to the reflectors in the housing. Anyone else experience this i am prob. going to go back to the stock bulbs. I have the smoke covers so i need to find a place to buy the red bulbs
