If you want to stay with conventional bulbs, a 2357 is about 25% brighter
(on the brake filament) but draws only slightly more current than the stock
tail/stop bulb.  I've heard bad things about halogen tail/stop bulbs, like
melted lenses and can't see the difference between tail and stop.

However, likely there are some LED replacements now that work well in the
TR3 holder.  Earlier ones didn't though, because of the funny angle of the
bulb.

One of my "back burner" projects is to try gutting a standard bulb holder
and filling the inside of the lens with super high output LEDs (the kind
that warn against eye damage if you look at them directly) ... but I should
probably get the car running first <G>
