one 3157 seems to be out, but works with turnsignal
Its probably a fuse somewhere, but I really don't get it. When I lock or unlock the car, the driver side 3157 bulb doesn't flash. It also isn't on while driving. For a while i thought it was out but found it odd, noone had trouble telling my left turn-signal was on. I know know that when the turnsigal is on the 3157 there flashes alternately with the 194 bulb. Why isn't it working at other time though, it makes the car look like i have a light out. Is there a fuse for this or am I facing a short?

the 3157 is a dual filament, the running light filament is probably burnt out but the one that comes in for turn signal isn't. replace the bulb, problem with likely be solved.

take them back and see if they can get shipped, or look on e-bay....and unless you have clear tails the chrome wouldn't really do anything astetic (sp) Id go back to normal 3157, or try an audio store (sometimes they sell those bulbs, or pep-boys)

3157 is in the headlight, as a turn signal and running light. the actual headlight bulbs are 9006 low beam and 9005 high beam.

3157A is what I was thinking for front for the amber turn....3157 is for rear tail lights too, thats why i had originally thought you you wouldnt see it, But if I thought clearly about it i would have realized that the rear turn is a single filiment the dual for the rear is brake and parking.(I am still asleep...late night lol) If it is for the front bulbs than my bad....ebay or an audio store or something like Pep boys

yea, the single filament version should be 3156.
