The Dodge Journey brake light utilizes 3157 and 2458 bulb sizes for the rear lighting system. Data for the specific components covers the range from 2009 through 2019.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 3157 is the brake bulb size for the Dodge Journey across the 2009-2019 model years, making it the sole bulb type present in the outer brake light position throughout the entire listed production span.
The 3157 is a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 27W/7W power draw. The two wattage values correspond to its two filaments, where the higher wattage serves the brake function and the lower wattage serves a secondary function such as running light operation.
The 3157 carries ANSI standardization recognized in both the United States and Canada, meaning it conforms to a defined set of electrical and physical specifications shared across compliant manufacturers.
For the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey, the inner brake position uses the 3757NA rather than the 3157, indicating that the two brake positions on those model years are not served by the same bulb.
The 3757NA is also a dual-filament T25 wedge bulb rated at 12V and shares the same ANSI standardization as the 3157. Its distinguishing physical characteristic is natural amber-tinted glass, which filters the light output toward a warm amber tone.
Although the 3157 and 3757NA share the T25 wedge form factor and dual-filament construction, they are not listed as interchangeable in these specifications. The 3757NA's amber glass produces a different light color output than the clear 3157, which is a relevant distinction for brake light applications subject to regulatory color requirements.
The 2011-2019 Dodge Journey specifications carry a "Without LED Tail Lights" qualifier on the 3157 fitment, indicating that this bulb size applies only to vehicles not equipped with the LED tail light configuration available during those model years.
The 2009-2010 model years do not carry the "Without LED Tail Lights" qualifier on the outer brake position, reflecting that the LED tail light distinction was not a noted variable for those earlier years in these specifications.
