Default Are there brighter bulbs for rear turn signals?

I bought the euro-rear brake lights (signals flash yellow, instead of red) while in Europe a while back. The OEM bulbs, however, seem a little dark. Is there another bulb that I can get to use instead?

Default you can try these...

for 30$ a pop. there's not that many in the bulb, looks like 9 or 12 leds. 60 bux for 2? WTF.

I chose to do it myself using off the shelf ones that have 24 leds outputting 3000 mcds each.
