ON an 1157 tail/stop light, which filament is meant for the tail light (energized whenever the lights are on) and which filament of the bulb is meant for turn/stop signaling? There's an upper and lower filament in the bulb. The upper appears to be a little longer and might be brighter. On an early Rambler the wiring harness has two separate connectors for each bulb. You can tell from the wiring diagram (at least I can't tell) which connector is meant for which post on the bulb socket. Joe

the bigger fatter heavier wire filament is for the brake and turn signal the smaller is for tail or park.

if you can not tell by looking place the side of the bulb on the ground of a battery take a test lead and touch the bottom of the bulb one contact at a time the brighter of the two is the stop and turn the dimmer of them is the tail
