The Oldsmobile Intrigue brake component utilizes a 3057 bulb size for the specific lighting application required for the vehicle. The provided data covers the production range from 1998 through 2002.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Oldsmobile Intrigue uses two distinct bulb types across its brake lighting system for the 1998-2002 model years: the 3057 for the standard brake lights and the 891 for the center high mount stop light.
The 3057 is a dual-filament wedge bulb in the T25 form factor, rated at 12V with a 27W high filament and a 7W low filament, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The dual-filament design of the 3057 allows it to serve two lighting functions within a single housing, with the higher-wattage filament typically dedicated to the brake function and the lower-wattage filament to a secondary function such as running lights.
The 891 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 27W, fitted with a PGJ13 base, and also conforms to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The PGJ13 base of the 891 is a pin-type base configuration, which is physically incompatible with the wedge-style socket used by the 3057, making the two bulbs non-interchangeable despite sharing the same voltage rating.
Both bulb types carry the same 12V operating voltage across all listed positions and model years of the Oldsmobile Intrigue, indicating a consistent electrical system requirement throughout the vehicle's production run.
The 3057 wedge bulb format does not use a separate metal base, as the glass envelope itself forms the contact points, a design that differs structurally from the pin-base configuration of the 891.
The halogen construction of the 891 means it contains a tungsten filament within a halogen gas environment, which allows for a more compact envelope relative to its wattage compared to standard incandescent bulbs of equivalent output.
