     I went to change the rear turn signal bulb on my TR3 and the old 1157 bulb 
fits fine and the new 1157 is too long and won't go twist in. What gives? It 
seems like any 1157 should be the same as the other 1157's, but it's not.
     I think that I bought them at Autozone. I haven't changed a rear turn 
signal bulb in 13 years. I can tell that I've been here before because I have 
about five 1157 bulbs of different makes that won't fit. That means that I have 
probably bought them from at least two different sources and probably ended up 
buying one from the big 3, but it is a distant memory.
     Are there different models of 1157 bulbs and which one fits a TR3?
