The short answer is, nothing you buy will be too bright, so go with the brightest ones available.
Autolumination has some very nice new bulbs to consider for the brake and turn signals:
1157 1156 Autolumination.com leds (Automotive Replacement Light Bulbs, Headlights, Foglights & Lamps)
Consider the 7 watt and above units and ignore the less powered ones as they won't be bright enough. I've used the 7 watt ones in the past, and they were about 125% brighter than stock. If it were me, I'd go with the 14 watt units as I think these would be very nice. You need two red 1157 ones and one amber 1156 unit per side, so it's not cheap. But with LEDs, you get what you pay for as the cheaper ones are not very good. Also, a rule of thumb is to always go with the bulbs that have the bigger LEDs on them. Look at the first 6 on the page and compare them to the others and you'll see the difference in LED sizes that I refer to.
For the center sections, I've never found anything to be acceptable before as they were all too dim, but the new 11 watt units look promising:
194 168 W5W 2825 Map Led Parking Signal Marker Bulbs
I'd go with those and see what you think. Keep in place one of the stock bulbs and compare for brightness.
Hope this helps and post up what you end up using.
