The Plymouth Breeze brake light utilizes 3157 and 3057 bulb sizes for the rear lighting system. Data for the specific components covers the period from 1996 through 2000.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Plymouth Breeze brake lights use two different bulb types across its production years. The 3057 is specified for the 1996-1998 model years, while the 3157 is specified for 1999-2000.
Both the 3057 and 3157 are dual-filament wedge bulbs built to the T25 form factor. Each operates at 12V with a 27W high filament and a 7W low filament, which allows a single bulb to serve both brake and running light functions.
Although the 3057 and 3157 share the same T25 form factor and identical wattage ratings, they are distinct ANSI-designated bulbs. Substituting one for the other without confirming compatibility with the socket and circuit is not advised, as the two types differ in their contact configurations.
The center high mount stop light (CHMSL) on the Plymouth Breeze uses the 921 bulb across all model years from 1996-2000, making it the only brake-related bulb that remained unchanged throughout the vehicle's production run.
The 921 is a single-filament wedge bulb in the T15 form factor, rated at 12V and 16W. As a single-filament type, it is dedicated solely to the stop light function rather than serving a dual role like the brake bulbs used in the tail lamp assemblies.
All three bulb types specified for the Plymouth Breeze, the 3157, 3057, and 921, conform to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and physical specifications across North American markets.
The T25 designation on the 3057 and 3157 refers to the bulb's wedge base size, where the number represents the approximate width in millimeters. The T15 designation on the 921 indicates a narrower wedge base, making the CHMSL bulb physically smaller than the tail lamp brake bulbs.
The shift from the 3057 to the 3157 between the 1998 and 1999 Plymouth Breeze model years represents a change in the specified brake bulb for the main tail lamp assembly, despite both bulbs sharing the same T25 form factor and wattage output.
