1156 and 1157 bulbs were very common on earlier cars. I'd do a quick web search for which cars used them (and it will be a long list), and then hit the junk yard and cut one out of a tail light harness. I've always driven VWs, and I'm pretty sure my Karmann Ghia, Scirocco, and Rabbits that era all use them. 1156 is another one, but the pins are different to keep you from interchanging them. The 1156 has one filament, the 1157 has two...two different sockets. I haven't watched it, but here's a web description of the differences....so see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X84vEfkjb9s .
