I notice this past Sunday that my brake lights aren't working. After checking the fuses and bulbs, everything seems fine, other than questionable grounds.

What is the correct bulb number for the brake lights? Mine look like 1158, although the number is hard to read.

My purchase from RockAuto was the 1156, which is also listed for front turn signals and backup lights....

Well I cleaned up the sockets, installed new 1126 bulbs (thank you for the specs), cleaned the grounds, and the stops lights worked...... intermittently...... so, I "adjusted" the brake light switch, got them to work a bit better, but still intermittently depending on how hard I press the brake pedal. I guess I need a new switch.

Then the left turn signal stopped working, so pulled out the old one, used one of my good left over brake lights, added some dielectric grease, as I did with the other ones, and installed the new old bulb. Signals working, and it appeared that the turn signal ground strip in the bulb holder had worn a good sized groove into the old bulb!
