I should point out that brightness isn't always a fuction of the number of LEDs. To replace the wide-angle 5-LED that burnt out, I got the WLED-WHP which is a super bright single LED. The benefit with the 5-LED is that the light dispersion is wide but at 8000K, it's too blue for me.
The single LED WLED-WHP is 4500K like OEM HID headlamps and the light INTENSITY measured in 'mcd' is so much better than the 5-LED bulbs.
High Power - Pure White 194/168 wedge base bulb
This bulb has 1 High Power LED which is about as bright as the 6-LED bulb seen aboveAt 4500K, the Color Temperature is closer to that of standard filament bulbs than any of the other bulbs (8500K) seen on this page
54000 mcd per bulb
5-LED super wide angle 194/168 wedge base bulbs
4 radially mounted 3mm LEDs emit most of the light from the sides of the bulbs
1 High Flux LED emits from the end of the bulbs - non-polarized bulbs
Depending on color, 500 to 2000 mcd per LED = 2500 to 10,000 mcd per bulb.

Trade off: Relatively narrow light dispersion at 120 deg vs 220 with 5-LED.
Benefit: Much more intense (more mcd), brighter (more lumens), more "pure white" at 4500K.
I'll post pictures when installed. Give me rep!
