Default LED tail light options

So I have my brake lights painted with about 4 coats of nite shades. Looks great! but I'm concerned with the intensity of my brake lights during the day. Is there any way to increase the intensity? bulb replacement? or anything without spending $200 + to get a set of LED tail lights?

LMK thanks

Without going to LED light assemblies like the Halo's you're pretty much out of luck.

I've never seen a direct replacement LED bulb that was as bright as the stock bulbs.

I had the same problem and put in a set of LED bulbs,they are brighter but make the Turn signals blink really fast,it don't bother me though.
