LED Light Supplier?

I've got a Fiat 500 Twinair with Stop Start, and my first major mod is to switch out the battery for a custom A123 unit, saving about 16kg (batteries are in transit).

I've been playing with LED's on my cars to reduce amp draw, particularly important with S/S as when stopped the radio, lights, fan etc are still drawing current.

Anyway, I'm looking for a reputable supplier of LED lights, I ordered one set that were claimed to be 11W and their actual draw is 3.6W, which makes them less bright than than stock 5/21 globes. Surely nowadays LEDs must be available that are actually brighter than stock?

I've been using superbrightleds but I don't think they really have anything that does what their name suggests. Problem is there's no shortage of suppliers but I have a feeling all of them post exadurated specs (except superbright to be fair).
