[DeTomaso] LED Brake Lights - Plasma Bulbs

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Steve and Garth,


               My recollection for the internal anatomy of the tail 
light housing is fuzzy, but would the 1157 Plasma LED bulb also work as 
a turn signal bulb???


                           Very curious,  Chuck Engles
