Bright LED Tail lights for Civic, type 7443

Helpful thread, but totally unwarranted attack on a newbie, who by the way hasn't been back. Some of you should be quite ashamed of yourselves.

The 7443-R45 bulbs are 15/120 lumens and $15 each.

I've ordered four of these 2.5 watt bulbs that are 444 lumens, and one of these 7w bulbs to replace the high mount brake light. The original lights are 8 and 21 watts.
