LED is actually not as bright as regular bulbs.
You should look into halogen back up lights, they are the brightest.

Depending on the LEDs they might be brighter than the halogen. The advantage for LED will be saving power (which is not the case in our car becuase it still needs resistors) and they light up faster (which is not in this case either since only the brake lights are getting this advantage for safety issue). However, they do look better IMO.

from what i've heard is that when it comes to white light, halogen bulbs are brighter than LED's.
