Can I use this bulb for my turn signals?

How long should this bulb last?

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Check that the bulb is correctly seated in the socket. Verify vehicle fuses related to tail and stop lights. Ensure the vehicle's electrical system is functioning correctly.

Only one filament works (e.g., tail light works, but stop light does not)

This indicates an internal filament failure. Replace the bulb as it is a dual-filament design and cannot be repaired.

Bulb flickers or has intermittent connection

Inspect the bulb socket for corrosion or damage. Clean the socket contacts if necessary. Ensure the bulb is firmly seated.
