Default LED Bulb Recommendation

I've modded my bike's rear lights with the Kuryakyn LED and brake controller: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/139...D-Upgrade-Kits

I replaced the bulbs up front with these: http://www.ledlight.com/s25-1-plus-10-led-light.aspx

They all work well together but I would like something brighter....I can't afford $2-400 dollars for lights and I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Hoping to spend under $100. I've looked at a few different sights and have tried other LED's and they all like to say "super bright" but super bright they are not!

Thanks

Here is the problem. Good stuff does NOT need to be cheap and usually isn't. I have bought HID kits for my cars and trucks. Why? Because they are the cheap stuff. They break and cause problems. On my truck there have been 3 sets of cheap HIDs. Together, they cost more than the expensive set but they were cheap and aggravating now and then. Also, some of them have been known to dump out excessive interference that can interfere with the ECM's operation. With my car, same thing.

So, can you afford a cheap kit?

Already have the kit....Kuryakyn makes a great run/turn/brake/flasher controller. I'm looking, specifically, for LED replacement recommendations...just the LED itself, not controllers. I'm hoping someone found something brighter than the stock Kuryakyn LED's.

Alot of folks seem to be very pleased with these. If you search you shoudl be able to find pics and vids showing how incredibly bright they are. I'd post pics, but mine have not come in yet.
