Buying replacement bulbs for my car is annoyingly difficult to figure out.
I ordered "4157" bulbs in white because that's what I was told to order. Except the lens enclosure isn't precolored so I should have bought amber.
I ordered 4157 amber lights, received "3047A" bulbs. But they're marked "also fits: 4157". There's also a sticker: "Replacement For 4157A".
Is the 4157A the same as the 4157? And if this "also fits" why is it marked 3047A?
I'm so confused.
@electrotamitha maybe the 4157 and 4157A are identical except for the color? i imagine they wouldn't make a different slot for each
@CobaltVelvet Looks like the 3xxx bulbs aren't quite as bright as the 4xxx bulbs but these are "Super Bright LED" replacements so I guess it won't really matter. lol.
As long as they work.
@CobaltVelvet Hmmmmm. So A might be a color code? I like that possibility.
