&nbsp\\;2357 is considerable brighter (25%)&nbsp\\;than 1157 and they last longer.
&nbsp\\;Be careful buying any gimmick lights I have tried several kinds and they don't last very long and can be very expensive.

It has been my experience that some LED's are brighter but can be difficult to see at an angle depending on how recessed they are.

There are some halogen bulbs available but that requires changing the base - here's one idea from Kisan.

LED LAMPS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER , DEPENDS ON HOW MANY ARE IN A CLUSTER

Go to superbrightled.com they have every configuration and spec on each bulb and what it replaces. They are pretty cheap also in price.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!&nbsp\\; I have this LED set in my scoot and it is blinding bright at night.&nbsp\\; Much brighter than other LEDs.&nbsp\\; It is at least twice as bright as the Kury LED light which is a waste of money in my opinion.&nbsp\\; You can barely see it during the day.
