    Dont know if this is correct place but can i replace the 3057,stopturnsignal with a 4157,stopturnsignal to make the brake lights brighter because i just put tinted tails in? i know it will fit in socket but will it melt or mess up wireing? Just asking.

    Flip did mine and I could go for some slightly brighter bulbs.

    You can use 3457's. They are brighter than the stock bulbs.

    I have flip tails as well. Anyone know what the reverse light number is. I can't see jack when backing up. Thinking of converting to led.

    Always a good idea to have the brightest bulb you can get in there if you have tinted tails....Someone could easily put you at fault for an accident by saying they couldn't see your brake lights

    If you want a bright led bulb, go with these:
    Web Store - elef

    They use a 5W OSRAM led. That's brand name, REAL 5W led. That bulb will blow the living s**t out of the regular PnP bulbs you can find everywhere else. But they aren't cheap. I bought the 3W amber leds for my front turn signals and I'm in the process of putting them in.
