unless it was a cheap LED there no way its not brighter then a 1157 type bulb,,,,but the big thing to consider useing those BRIGHTER bulbs is HEAT they make HEAT and warp and melt lenses,,,find a good set of LED,S no heat,,less voltage drawl,,,save your lenses

I checked one supplier - LEDtronics http://www.ledtronics.com/Products/ProductsDetails.aspx?WP=1168

Their 1157 LED bulb emits 35.9 Lumens on bright setting. A stock 1157 incadescent bulb emits 402 lumens. The stock bulb is thus 11 times brighter. Let me know if you are aware of a LED 1157 bulb that has > 402 lumens output. I wanted to change over to LEDS, but I could not find one, so that is why I stuck with a high output incadescent bulb.
I'm going to use LEDS in the instrument panel
