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.
The difference between the bulbs 3157LL and 3157K lies in their intended use and specifications. The 3157LL bulb is a long-life version, designed to have a longer lifespan compared to the standard 3157 bulb. On the other hand, the 3157K bulb denotes a specific color temperature, typically a cool white light output. It is important to consider these differences when selecting the appropriate bulb for your application.
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)
Yes, the T3157 and the 3157 bulbs are compatible. The "T" in T3157 refers to the bulb's base type, indicating it's a twist-lock bulb, while the 3157 designation is the standard for the bulb's size and function. Both bulbs often serve similar applications in automotive lighting, but it’s always best to check the specific requirements of your vehicle or fixture to ensure proper fit and function.
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.
