How bright are the "super bright" LED's?

I know led technology has come quite a ways in the last few years, and they have gotten pretty bright, but i'm trying to figure out a good comparison.



Here's the thing. I have an old 60's motorcycle, and the headlights on these motorcycles were HORRIBLY DIM. they may have been 35 watts, but they were tungsten bulbs, so about 1/4 as bright as a 35 watt halogen.



the original headlight blew, so i refurbished it and fit the biggest bulb i could find in it just for now (25 watts...........) this is a 6v bike, not 12 like newer bikes and cars by the way.



Long story short, i want to replace it with an array of LED bulbs using the original housing to do it. it won't be difficult to do, but, before i waste my time on something like that, i need to know if maybe 20 to 25 super bright LED's would be an improvement to what i have now.



this is a 125cc motorcycle, i rarely ever ride it more than 1 to 3 miles from my house, and typically in the daylight anyway, but i go to the store now and then in the middle of the night on it.



Long story short, NO highway driving neither day or night, so i don't need a million candlepower spotlight on the front of it (though it could be fun)



I'm highly considering changing out the tail light and blinkers out with LED's too in order to further conserve energy and allow the battery to charge better.



thoughts? opinions? knowledge?



Thanks



p.s. I know about resistors and such. just looking to know how bright they are and if it would work for my needs

I would check to see if they don't already make a replacement led cluster for your motorcycle. They led lights are normally measured in Lumen s or candle power so you could compare that to what you would like to have on you motorcycle. I would think that what ever led combination you would get would be much brighter than you have already.
