I had one of these on my bike for a while, it is quite bright and does get attention.

They will still rear end you even if you had a million candle power rear light as they have to be looking where they are going to spot you! My mate was rear ended on his ZZR1400 just before Christmas in daylight while he was travelling at 40 mph in moving traffic. He was shunted forward just missing the cars in front. £3000 worth of damage but he survived somehow.
I don't know if it's worth the extra expense and work to put on brighter rear lights.

Would almost cover the OEM hole, but the topside license plate light would need work.
 

I'm responding as an update to this previous post of mine. Now that I have had my rear end apart, I tested and noted that the top LED pictured in this post was much brighter than the bottom LED.
I feel it is equal to or better than the OEM incandescent.
 
I bought some LED bulbs that are for signals and tail brake lite, so far i put them in the signals and they are so bright that i have to double smoke my lenses which are already the smoked ones. I got them from LED Lights, Bulbs & LED Lighting Accessories | superbrightleds.com
