3057 or 3057KK Bulb?
Our Owner Manual says the tail lights use a 3057KK bulb, the only one I could find locally is listed as a plain 3057 (Wagner).
Are those identical, or no?

Found this post.....
"K" = Krypton, a gas that can be added to the fill mix to improve bulb
life without reducing bulb output. Some makers use "LL" instead of "K"
(So, for instance, 3157K and 3157LL can be considered equivalent to one
another).
Now, output listed bright/dim:
3057: 32/2 candlepower (also 3057K, 3057LL)
So from what I gather, there really isn't a difference.
