What's the difference between 3157 and 3357? They both seem to have the same plug. Maybe it's just the bulb size?



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

3157 is a single filament and 3357 is a dual filament (one for constant running lights and a second brighter one for the turn signal)

no. 3156 is single filament, 3157 is dual.

difference between the 31 and 33 is in wattage. they are interchangeable.

Thank you for your inquiry. Though parts 3157, 3457, and 4157 look similar, they are made to different operating specifications and are not considered interchangeable. We recommend that you replace with the same part number that was used as original equipment. With that said, here are the operating specifications for each of the three part numbers listed:

3157 Minor 14 8.26 37
3157 Major 12.8 26.88 402

3457 Major 12.8 28.54 502
