I started a pretty simple project, but need some advice on the appropriate bulbs to use.  I have a 98 Trans Am, with amber side markers up front and red in the back. 

I took the front markers off and hit them with a few coats of nite shades, then laid down a WS.6 decal, then hit it with body match black, then with clear.  Threw them back on, but as expected, the stock bulb did not light it up enough for the WS.6 to show through.  I tried a white led from Autozone, but it wasn't as bright, and shown through white instead of amber.  I really like the blacked out look in the daylight, and would like to find a bulb that will light it up enough at night and show through with the appropriate color.  What LED 194 wedge bulb would you recommend?

LED will never be as bright as an incandescent bulb.

What about the LED bulbs I've seen that have 6 or 7 LED's clumped together?

That's what I use for my tail lights, and they're still not as bright. A place I've found that has some good prefab leds is:

That's where I got mine, so rest assured they won't screw you.
And you can google you year, make, and model to find the appropriate sized light for you application.
