I bought mine's at Super Bright LEDs. The red 24-led matrix bulbs I bought ended up just slightly dimmer than standard 1156/1167's, but like all LEDs, they come on much quicker. They are sufficiently bright enough to see even in the SoCal sun. 19-led versions are dimmer than that, and no more than adequate for brake light purposes. Below that, consider them as parking lights.

-- Kane ... who has some 12-led bulbs as parking lights on the '90. They are brighter than 5w incandescent, however.

PS - LEDs aren't so good for turn signals, unless you put a dummy resistor load or replace the flasher. They draw too little current otherwise.
