I found that Web Bike World article a ways back. In the end, if you're putting an 1157 LED replica into a housing that's designed for incandescent, you're never going to be happy. Nothing performs as well. I wanted to use 1157 incandescents in mine but they're only two inch lights. At a good long stop light the bulbs would melt everything. Had to go with LED. I found out just how hot a 22 or 3 watt 1157 gets with both filaments lit (very very hot). The 36 led bulbs you were looking at in the beginning are what I got, except in warm white because I didn't want pink tail lights. They work very well in the projectors I made for them. I tried them in my FJR, though, and no output. They just can't take advantage of the the reflectors in housings designed for incandescent. I looked at the ones Meanie got, too. They may be better for you.
