Default Led 1157

My car was in the shop for some body work. I purchased some LED 1157 for the front directional and rear brake lights.

He called today and said the car was ready, but the LED bulbs didn’t fit.

It will be something easy for me to do, if they fit.

Anyone have issues with the bulb not fitting? The bulbs are the SYLVANIA - 1157 ZEVO LED bulbs.

Some of the first LED’s I tried didn’t fit either. There is a much bigger variation in dimensions with LED’s vs incandescents. Electronic circuitry also variable and changing. I put incandescents back in because they were already in my spare box. Headlightrevolution.com and superbrightleds have a variety of different configurations.

For the front 1157 I found that the Sylvania Zevo and Philips Vision led 1157 fit and also actually work with the cross-flashing front / side marker lights


That's a "no name" 1157 on the left, it will work in the tail lights no problem

(you usually have to watch this over on youtube for it to actually load)
