ORIGINAL: Triax
I got mine off ebay all ready prewired, they are clear but light up amber. 20 of them for $14. They came from hong kong but it only took 7 days to get.

Yeah dont do blue, that is what i have on my bike right now -- my bike is currently blue and that is why i choose that color -- but im painting it black and red right now so im going to probably change to amber. I have not been pulled over just because of them, but i was told when i got pulled over for a C&I that i needed to remove them. Oh yeah im in MO

If you are looking for the brightest possible, you should look into the higher amperage LEDs. Most LEDs are 20mA, and about 3/4 of a lumen bright. For reference, your headlights are around 1100 lumens bright...
Here is a converter for you... Candella is a measurement based on the radiation angle, so smaller angled LEDs will seem brighter, but the total output is the same. One problem with most LEDs is that they are directional, so in a normal Bulb housing where a bulb emits light in every direction, the LED will just shine out like a dot.
http://led.linear1.org/lumen.wiz
They make higher wattage LEDs, which you can run at 350ma which is roughly 17 regular LEDs...
http://ledsupply.com/ and http://www.eled.com/ Are the two places I have gotten the high output LEDs.
At 350mA you get around 30 lumens, or 10,000 lumens at 120*. You can't just use a resistor or the LEDs will blow out, you need to use a current regulated device. Sounds harder than it is. You just need a LM317 chip and a resistor, and that's all of 2$ at radio shack.
