Most brake light bulbs are a standard 1157, even in metric bikes. It's a bionet style fitting with two prongs that are offset on the sides.
LED bulbs come in many different forms... From flat panels, to round, etc, etc.
PepBoys, Autozone, ORileys and many others carry them now. Most run about 20 bucks or so. But prices are coming down.
The other option is to use LED strips... I use some from PepBoys called MAX and they are so bright they hurt your eyes! 40 bucks for two 18" strips that you can cut and configure how you want.
You can get red to put on the bike a little higher... or you can get white and use them inside your existing lense if you want.
The possibilities are endless.
Just keep the receipt... That way if you don't like the bulb or it's brightness or directional pattern... You can take it back.
