Default Brake/running light

I have been looking at ways to bring more attention to the brake light. I have tried an led- not bright enough, does not throw light in all directions so the lens does not light up the plate or in other directions. I bought a bright 1157, but it was not as bright as stock. I have a 2357 I have yet to try, could not get a long life one and no info on wattage.
I was looking at a lic, plate frame with led lights that are both low and high
wattage to act as run/brake light. The price was a little steep.
I have seen frames with both red and amber leds that are low/high.
But the price is US and then there is broker plus freight plus exchange plus taxes. I even looked at buying the LED units and attaching to my backrest
but the prices are high here. $70. plus taxes of 14.5% for a 6" chrome led,or the same for 2 3".
What is every one else doing?.
