Can't be bothered to put the yellow filament bulb back in to compare, but here's the same sidelight after dark.
Note that the car is illuminated by a small (100W) linear halogen outside light at head height that is only about 2 metres away.
There's no flash, that's the reflection of the floodlight on the car! The LED is more than adequately bright.... 
Also, I've oriented the bulb so that the frontmost opposed pair of emitters are directed sideways, the rear ones face up and down.
