Note: if the insides of the housings are painted black do yourself a favor and paint the inside of the housing bright white from the start. That alone will make your tail lights a lot brighter.

Remember that you have to have a real good ground for the lights. A lot of time they don't ground to the bed or body because the paint insulates them too well.
1157 is much too big for the housing. Anybody actually know the answer to my question?
