NO direct replacement!

This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a direct replacement for 1157! I installed them in the taillights of my 1967 Ford Galaxie (these LED bulbs have two properly spaced pins at the bottom and fit into the socket with a twist like the old 1157s so it initially seemed like they would work.) and New LED turn signals also look forward to beautiful, bright daytime running lights, brake lights and turn signals. However, when I turned on the turn signals, everything behind me flashed, including the license plate light! A very helpful guy from Autozone explained to me that the bulbs are powered by chasers, that replacement LED bulbs aren't DOT-approved (you can be fined, for example), and that in more modern cars they can ruin the computer. So now I use halogens. These LEDs were a waste of money and time.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write later
