A 3157LL means 3157 Long Life, some stores carry it as 3357 bulb or a Heavy Duty 3157.the filament is stronger in the LL bulb.
Yes, the 4157 is just slightly more powerful than the 3157, 28.5w compared to 27w
I have successfully installed bulbs 3057, 3157 and 3457 in my Chrysler Town & Country mini-van, for the brake/stop lights.
For all practical purposes, they are interchangeable. To my eye the 3357 seeems to be brighter on the heavier filament. (brake/turn)
The 3157LL bulb is the long-life version of the 3157k. Same bulb but will last longer.
Well. I work at NAPA and it called for a 3057kx which we naturally don't have in stock. But when the customer pulled the bulb out it was a 3157. which will fit in its place. It might be some sort of long life bulb. Just put a 3157 in there. that's what most brake lights are.
The 3157 is a clear bulb and the 3157NA is an amber color.
Yes, they more or less are. Both have two filaments, one for the parking light, and one for the brake light or turn signal. The parking light filament of the 3157 is a little brighter than the parking light filament of the 3057. The signal filaments of both bulbs are the same brightness.
The 3157 and 4157 produce the same amounts of light from their dim and their bright filaments. The 4157 has a longer life rating than the 3157.
4057k is a ford number, while 3157 is a napa brand of the same item.
