What the hell is the difference between a 3156 "reversing bulb", 3157 tail/parking/turn signal bulb, and a 3157-LL bulb? All of this was seen on the Crappy Trash parts computer screen tonight for the Ford Focus.
Reason being, I found a 50W halogen 3156 replacement bulb tonight at Crappy, and I wanted to go better-than-stock on the new tails. The newb at the counter tells me because the backing board of the 3156 says it fits the 3157 socket (looks idenical tho to me, socket-wise) and therefore is a direct replacement.
Am I completely burnt-out from this week, or is there a reason a 3156 is NOT a 3157?
Please help, my brain is melting, and I want to get good, halogen bulbs for my tails and reversing lights next week.
Thanks guys.
