Which one shall I choose for turn signals, 3156 or 3157?
#It depends whether you need it for a single function or multifunction
Most cars in the market are equipped with turn signals for only turning the direction.
But in the rest of the market there are cars needing a light used as light bulbs, DRLs and turn signals in a meantime. Thereby the 3157 one is needed in this case.
Q&A
Q1. Can I install 3157 ones if my basement is literally 3157?
Yes.
The signal 3157 can be installed onto the basement 3156. But on the contrary the signal 3156 is not for the basement 3157 because it is set with the function –two brightness levels.
