2357 tail lite bulbs or 1157?

You don't HAVE to get them from Honda.
Look for the nickle base and a good brand.
I wouldn't trade my 3496's for anything (worth every penny)
Especially since I want to reduce every chance of getting rear ended that I can, so I also replaced the backup lenses (the ones with the clear center) with standard tail/brake lenses and connected them in with the brake/turn signals.
Now I have four nice brake lights and two signal lenses on each side, but it looks stock except for the clear part of the center of what used to be the backup lights.

Love it, and it works great.

Let's add this up. I'm 64, been driving since I was 17, and in those 47 years, I'll bet I have NOT replaced a dozen park and tail bulbs. So that's about 1 every 4 years.

All my cars were used, all of 'em came with whatever bulbs were in 'em, and I've never replaced 'em with anything but 1157's

I've never found a bulb "stuck in a socket"

Conclusion:


I won't be giving Honda extra money for light bulbs
