Great thay all work ? just for info make sure the 1157's are installed correctly, that can be forced in backwards.

They worked nothing was forced and when depressed they got brighter or braking.

Oreillys just got in some 194 so I’m heading back to get them. I only swapped out the ones not working for now.

Is there something that can be put on the metal of the bulb so they don’t stick?
The old 1157 I had to break the bulb to get it out. The duct tape trick wouldn’t work

Easier on the bulb than the socket, but IMO it's a good idea to coat ALL the metal in the electrical circuit...put some on your finger and smear it in the socket too.

Any time you have electrical connectors apart, do the same thing. Stuff the cavities on both plugs with the grease before reassembly.

If needed (due to corrosion, but more often a patina) scuff up any contacts before greasing.
