I have an old 1991 Toyota pickup. Love this reliable truck. The left rear brake light stopped working and needed replacement. I of course went to amazon.com because I like prime shipping and wanted the light as soon as possible without having to drive to the local auto parts store. I typed in the search bar: “rear brake light 1991 toyota pickup” and quickly ordered a Phillips Long Lasting 1156 bulb. I checked to see if this fit the 1991 using the Amazon garage feature, and it said “this product fits these positions in your 1991 Toyota Pickup: *rear *front.”
The 1156 bulb arrived promptly two days later and I went to install it – Oh no, it wasn’t the right one!!! I needed the one with two electrical connectors on the bottom (1157), not just one (1156).
Here is the difference between a 1157 (click on the rockauto.com link for a typical 1157) and a 1156 bulb (see picture below):
Well, I just ordered a Phillips 1157 LL from Amazon and it’ll get here in a couple days. This is the one I should have gotten!
