possibly a t10 , need to check the size of the bulb to be sure.

Looks bigger than that - I think its about the size of a standard bayonet 21W tail stop indicator bulb

Does 3157 or switchback mean anything?

Where the lighting regs used to specify 6W or 21W, how does that convert into LED brightness?
Do they still take 8W or 21W but much brighter?

Thanks - it helps to run it past someone else
3157 socket was the clue smile
Do these normally require a control box resistor or can they replace a normal 21W bulb?
