Well it also depends the angle of light and the diffuser and the reflective-ness of the housing....
so for example, my blinker housing is blacked out (75%) and I do not have a diffuser, so I need a bright assssss led to make it seen....I bought one couple years back and it has been working like a charm !!!
for you, you do have a diffuser and your housing (am assuming) is chrome....so you dont need a very bright led...a moderate LED will do the job just as well
again from the pix, the 3rd one looks like the brightest as it has a front facing CREE led (looks like it)....hence I asked you to check the brightness....
since you are not getting switchbacks and are more inclined towards traditional LEDS, my recommendation is to just get whatever led you get for like 12-15 bucks shipped and call it a day

I will email the ebay guy
What do you mean check the brightness? These Cree ones are adjustable?
Here this is what came in today

this morning around 6-7 i saw 1 degree
This is 96 led

This is cree

I know lens doesn't hit the reflector but even when the bulb is out, brightness on cree was so low. Well, lower than I expected
I don't know, all I heard was good thing about those.
Let me see what will the seller say
Damnit I love my grill
Don't have a pic but 18led smd one is much brighter that 96small leds
J. you know why I want independent fog switch??

I want this in orange during the day

Orange leds for fogs coming in today
Tried friends Nokya yesterday
This is what I have on left fog

I had 5k xenon for fogs but took them out. Will move them to lower fog. That's later on

Have you looked into the V3 Triton bulbs from VLEDs? They're pricey, but they will a lot brighter than any of the ebay tower LED's out there. I think they boast 600 lumens, which is more than twice the lumens from any other LED parking/turn signal bulb I've seen.
Yeah can't take my eyes off of it but too pricey as you said 
I will wait for the first discount to buy them, if it comes
I have the stock bulbs in there right now.
Didn't install the 18 smd leds yet
Will try the Cree ones again today

the EVO takes the cake 
back to the LED's am not sure about the ebay leds....when i said check the brightness, I meant check the wattage on them....or the lumens....this will help you understand which one to get rather than having 10 sets of low light led's in your closet....
and between the AM and the Maserati....IMO the AM comes across as "pricier" more exclusive....but the Maserati takes it from the $$$ and the sound point of view...

FYI, if you subscribe to the VLEDs newsletter, when you get your confirmation email, they give you link to a 5% coupon code. You can keep using the link over and over. I figured that was better than nothing and placed an order.
Don't worry, Anil. My LED strips already shit the bed about a month ago.
I won't be installing them again. Oh well, it was kinda cool while it lasted. Maybe I'll install 5 V3 Triton bulbs on each sideskirt for puddle lights...it'll be the cheapest mod ever.
Yeah, this:

If someone puts super hero stickers all over your windshield at the meet, it wasn't me.

Clearly I'm not cool.
If someone knocks you out and you awake to all of your camera equipment missing, it was me. You shall not mess with my car

Wow John, those puddle lights look hot
but yeah can't be sure how long these will last while installing them
I am about to open up a shop with all the leds I have 
Yeah but idiot ebay sellers doesn't even know what wattege or lumen they have.
