Light bulbs ?
Anybody know if I can use a 3157 in place of a 3057 ? The 3157 is a twin filament, and was wondering if I can use it place of a 3057 tailight bulb? Thank in advance !

The 3157 and 3057, are dimensionally the same. You can use a 3157, but you may see a disparity in brightness compared to the other 3057 bulbs...due to the 3157 being slightly higher wattage.

I have a set of GE 'Nighthawk' 3157 bulbs which claim to be 20% brighter. I'd like to have the extra light, but I don't want to burn out fuses or wires? Thanks for the advice !
