Additional Notes

The Hyundai Tiburon uses the 2357 bulb for the tail light position across the 1997-2001 and 2003-2008 model years.
The 2357 is a dual-filament bulb, meaning it serves two lighting functions within a single housing, typically combining stop and tail light operation.
The 2357 operates on a 12-volt system with a wattage rating of 26.9W on the high filament and 8W on the low filament, reflecting the difference in brightness between stop and tail functions.
The bulb uses a BAY15d bayonet base, which is an offset-pin base design that ensures the bulb is inserted in only one orientation, preventing incorrect filament alignment.
The 2357 is an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, placing it within a widely available specification category.
The 2357 is a brighter variant of the 1157 bulb. While the two share the same BAY15d base and are physically interchangeable in many sockets, the 1157 carries lower wattage ratings and the substitution may affect output intensity.
