head lite bulb ?

[mike n]

Bought a replacement bulb from someone on this board.. Brighter then stock but lasted a little over a month then burned out... then purchased a Kury pulsating tail lite bulb and that lasted about a week and that one shorted so the large element was on all the time.... Soooo back to the standard 1157 bulb and no problems but still looking for a brighter stop/tail lite bulb to replace the 1157 bulb... Any recomendations?

1157s are the stock, 2057s are the same bulb but with a heavier filiment used mostly for trailers due to vibration. Now, I run a 2357 out back. The 2357 is 3 or 5 watts brighter then the 11s or the 20.

Where does one find this 2357 bulb? Wallymart or does it have to be a trucking facility or auto parts store?

Fairly standard bulb. Auto parts store should stock them.

But when you ARE ready for a headlight- PM me.

I ran and sold halogen 1157 bulbs for a while. Found they were actually too bright and it was hard to tell the brake light from the tail light. Went back to a stock bulb.
