I've been disappointed in those I've tried on *motorcycles. The ones that I notice being bright on cars seem to be the large-area custom made type rather than just an LED bulb.

*Altho safety is of course always important, many guys with older machines would really like to reduce electrical load due to weak alternators/generators and LEDs pull a lot less current. I would have been happy with even equal brightness and reduced load, but I didn't see it.- Vote on answer

Yup. Brainstorm used to have an LED 3rd-brake light module, and that works fine and is as bright as the normal 3rd brake light. In particular since I got this to flash, people notice it:

And on a bike, doesn't light up your license plate! :)
The flashing rate can also sometimes be fixed with an electronic or "wide-load-range" flasher unit. The resistors are in parallel to make the LED draw the same current as a regular bulb would, so that was no help to me.
Good luck!
