3057 tail light bulbs

I just finished installing euro tail lights and the blinkers were not working due to a couple of bulbs being bad. These bulbs are amber in color. The book calls for 3057 bulbs and I believe the amber are 3057NA? I also noticed there are amber bulbs which look identical and are 3157, 3357. Anyone know the difference? Which is the correct bulb for the euro taillights? Thanks...

Yes, the NA always indicates amber. 3057, 3157 and 3357 are interchangeable iirc. Of the three, the higher the number the brighter it is, and the sooner it will burn out again.

I looked at 3057 vs 3157 a while back.

They are interchangeable. The 3157 has a slightly brighter low filament and the same high filament.

The specs are below that list the lumens and wattage for Sylvania long life bulbs.
