The Dodge Daytona brake light utilizes 2057, 2458, 3057, and 3157 bulb sizes depending on the specific version of the vehicle. Information provided covers the production period from 1984 through 1993.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 3057 bulb is the most frequently specified brake light bulb across the Dodge Daytona's production run, appearing in six of the ten model years listed for that position (1988-1993, excluding 1987 and 1992).
The 3057 is a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 27W high filament and 7W low filament, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canada markets.
The 3157 shares the same T25 wedge form factor and identical 12V, 27W/7W ratings as the 3057, yet the Dodge Daytona specifies them for different model years rather than treating them as universal substitutes.
The 1987 and 1992 Dodge Daytona brake light positions call for the 3157 rather than the 3057, making those two years distinct from the surrounding model years in terms of specified fitment.
The 2057 bulb, specified for the 1984-1986 Dodge Daytona brake lights, uses a BAY15d bayonet base rather than a wedge base, making it physically incompatible with the T25 wedge socket used in later model years.
The 2057 is rated at 12V, 26.9W/8W and is described as a brighter variant of the 1157, though its bayonet base construction represents a fundamentally different mounting system from the wedge-type bulbs used from 1987 onward.
The Center High Mount Stop Light (CHMSL) on the Dodge Daytona uses T15 wedge bulbs exclusively, with the 921 specified for 1986-1991 and the 922 specified for 1992-1993.
Both the 921 and 922 are T15 wedge bulbs rated at 12V and 16W under ANSI standards, placing them in a lower wattage class than the dual-filament brake bulbs used in the main brake light positions.
The single-filament design of the 921 and 922 reflects the CHMSL function, which operates only as a stop light and does not require a secondary filament for a parking or running light mode.
The transition from the 2057 bayonet-base bulb to T25 wedge-type bulbs between the 1986 and 1987 model years represents a socket-level change, meaning brake light assemblies from those two generations are not directly interchangeable.
