Yep, there are a couple of alternatives here.
1. 2357. They plug right in, and have brighter brake lights.
2. Turn & Backup Bulbs These guys have halogen 15W/50W 1157 replacements.
I've had them in my Z for 4 years now, no problems, and a LOT brighter.

I've been trying to use the "Brite" tail light bulbs sold to replace a
standard 1157. The Bright bulbs are, no doubt, noticeably brighter than a
standard
1157; only problem, the bright bulbs are only lasting a few months in
service.
Has anyone had a similar experience with the "Brite" bulbs? I am having the
same experience with all three Corvairs in which I'm using the bulbs.
Sockets, wiring, voltage, all fine....bulbs just blow out wayyyyyyy to soon.
And a
follow up: has anyone else found any other GOOD 1157 substitutes?
Thanks in advance,
