Front Signal Lightbuld, 1157na

[svarog]

Hello I have an 1157NALL lightbulb, but my manual (es300 1995) calls for a 1157NA, what's the worst that could happen and isnt 1157NALL backwards compatible? Also, could I, totaly ignorant about cars but not very dumb all around, replace the bulb myself?

It is the same bulb size and plug.

The only difference might be it being amber instead of clear.

Cool!! Thanks, you're so smart :)! It is different color not clear, I'm going to put it in tomorrow myself and break stuff probably.

besides that they me be amber isnstead of clear, I thought the LL were also stood for Long Life? I ended up replacing the pair as the replacement was slightly a different shade from the original. Only way you would know if the Hazards were on, but just knowing they were different drove me to change it :(

I just installed the light bulbs myself!! Wasn't hard at all. For some reason though the left turn light is dimmer then the right, is it just some crazy wire?

For anyone who isnt sure how to change the bulb:

I took of the black covering thing, that was easy, just unplug those circular things

Then I unbolted the and pushed out the light chassis, then the light turn was on the bottom, turned it, then pushed the bulb down and turned it again, bulb came out, put in new one, and boom worked!

If one is dimmer tehn you may have been able to jam it in back wards.

do both stay on with the headlights and get brighter when the hazards are on or is the dim one constant?

[svarog]

constant,and now the left blinker on dash is flashing twice as fast again :|

sounds like the contacts are dirty and you cleaned them slightly by replacing the bulbs
