I think the regular bulb part number is 2357A. Is there a brighter 2357 bulb available or is the LED version of the 2357 bulb (1157) my only choice? Anyone using these LED bulbs? I could use a white 1157 with the amber signal lights.

not unless you get the really expensive ones with multiple oval LEDs on the sides, they run about 25 bucks a pair, and are supposed to be lots better than the crap that was being made at first.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

$25 each isn't too bad. I'll probably need those load equalizers too, correct? I also want that "daytime running lights" look. I'll just turn on the parking lights while driving during the day... .

you shouldnt have to use the load equalizers - those scare me.
Just get the electric signal flasher to replace yours and they will work. These are mostly made for use with trailer lighting since they add more load on the flasher.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

I have no personal experience with these bulbs yet, but the new style look like theyd work much much better than the old
I snagged these pics off ebay, just do a search for 1157 red LED
the new style
the crappy old style

do it!!!
N yes they make these in most all the varieties for brake and signal lights.
older boxes use 1157, and in either 88 or 90 they changed to 3157 IIRCPete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

Question of the day: are they bigger than the regular bulbs? If so, do they still fit? Those things look taller than a regular light bulb to me. They do look like they'd light up better tho. The old ones lit straight back, which didn't shine on the reflectors at all making for crappy light.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
