Found a brighter brake light bulb, for those that don't want to go LED yet.

My truck had 3157 bulbs in the brake lights and I was thinking of going LED. Not really satisfied with anything I found on Amazon. Some needed resistors, some gave errors (according to reviews), even though they said "error free". Some just didn't last (according to reviews). So, I did a quick Google search and found out that "3457" fits right in and is s higher lumen bulb. "40 candlepower" vs. "32 candlepower". The running light brightness remains exactly the same. I just put them in and they look great. I'll really be able to tell once it gets dark out. So, if you're looking for a brighter bulb, and you don't want to go the hassle of LEDs, give these 3457s a shot.

I’ve been running those for about 4 years, ever since I tinted my tails ... They are a little brighter ... Bright enough that the local and state popo is Ok with them and the tint ... Keep a few layin around, they don’t last very long

OK. Good to know. Thanks. I did get the "LL" version. Does that help? I'll go pick up another set though and keep them in the center console. They were cheap enough.

I been using the LL version as well .... Doesn’t seem to help ... They must run a little hotter ... The ceramic receptacle is a little browner these days

You just need to use the proper blinker fluid with those.

I went with semi-synthetic. I was told to only use full synthetic with LEDs.
