luxeon k2 star LED’s are the only thing that I would use for a taillight. 4 of them are about the output of a fog lamp. they are pretty nice.

Other than 4 of them would require some decent heatsinking and custum work not many people would like to / know how to do. But yes, they are bright.

Id say too bright for the average tail light where you would want more even lighting. Where 30-60 super flux led’s would do the job perfect. 5 1/2 lumens each, 250+ lumens of blistering red light is bright enough for a single brake light…
