I am running United Pacific LED bulbs in the back of my 56 Dodge. 1157 equivalent. Very bright. You might have to go to an electronic signal flasher because the resistance is very low.

I did a lot of research into LED bulbs when I converted my Volvo 245 to LED. The key to brightness is to look for a SMED or SMD bulb with many emitters. Buy in bulk from China for cheap. A super fast search found these.
Always use white bulbs. The red color LED bulbs are dimmer.
