Is it close to twisting in?=A0 I found that a few times I've had to file th=

=A0 =A0=A0=A0I went to change the rear turn signal bulb on my TR3 and the o=

What gives? It seems like any 1157 should be the same as the other 1157's, =

=A0 =A0=A0=A0I think that I bought them at Autozone. I haven't changed a re=

d probably ended up buying one from the big 3, but it is a distant memory.
=A0 =A0=A0=A0Are there different models of 1157 bulbs and which one fits a =
TR3?
