One of my rear break / stop lights blew out a while back and I replaced it with a bulb from autozone. Today I get pulled over and I'm like wtf, I was driving 35 mph in a 40 zone. Well it turns out that the replacement bulb I dropped in there is very dim compared to the original, that's why they pulled me over. I checked it out and it's true, the replacement bulb is way less bright.

What kind of bulbs do you guys use for replacement? Is there some place I can buy the OEM bulbs online?

Thanks for the help.

You didn't get a ticket, did you?

Our rear brake lights are 1157, not 2057. And the 3rd (upper) brake light is 7440.

I know I just replaced my driver side rear brake light with 1157 and I have no problems.

1157 or 2057 depending on the company that makes them, they're both the same socket type and u just need the dual filament ones. I have phillips I think, sylvania or piaa is what I'd recommend

Thanks for the replies... no I didn't get a ticket, just a "warning". I'm gonna buy some new ones, I think I may have just gotten a dud.
