Brighter Tail Light on the Cheap
#1

Just wanted to share some info. A 2357LL bulb and a 2397LL bulb are a direct fit for an 1157 bulb and they are both brighter than the 1157. The "LL" is long life, meaning double the life of a standard 2397 or 2357. Life of the LL bulb is less than the standard 1157 but longer than the regular 2357/2397 bulb. The 2357LL has a brighter taillight than the 2397LL but the brake lights are the same for both bulbs.

2357LL has a life of 10000/800 vs 5000/400 (hours) for a standard 2357 bulb
Cost is around $2-$4 for a pair of 2357LL bulbs.

The stock 1157 bulb changes out in just a few minutes. This is a quick job to do.
