Front turns are dual filament because you have your parking lights and the signal....they are 1157, the rear turn are 1156. wink.gif

man not again...another thread for bulb sizes - someone needs to make a sticky with all the bulb sizes in a chart so people can refer to it...maybe i'll do it later.

cdog, you probably got the #2357 from the sylvania website. that number is their reference number. if you go anywhere else, they sell em as 1157. Thus, 2357 = 1157. They're dual filament (if you look inside the bulb there are two sets of posts with two "springs"). At the base of the bulb, there are little nubs - in terms of distance from the bottom of the base, one should be higher than the other. If pictures are required, I will post them for reference...

Depends which bulb chief, does it need a dual or single? If you are using it for signal you need 1156 if you are using it for parking/brake you need 1157....oh and reverse are 1156 too.

Vince, I'm not sure what kind of problems you're running in to here, but the 1156 should work. It's a single filament bulb and that's all the turn signal needs - it's either on or off. Here's a cross-reference table - http://www.superlumination.com/ I'm not sure what else I can tell you... Make sure the bulb filament isn't broken and that your wire harness for the bulb is intact and working... Test with working equipment. Other than that, ummm I guess I'd have to look at it. :?:
