The bulb spec'd for this application is 1156, but the 3497 should work with no problems.
My reason for using the 3497 is because they're supposed to draw the same current 2.1 A, both 27 W, but the 3497 is supposed to be worth 45 CP instead of the 1156's 32 CP, so more light without using more power.
The cornering lights only come on when the turn signal is activated *and* the headlights are on. The turn signal and cornering lights are on the same circuit/fuse, but the headlights are on a different one. The turn signals work fine when the headlights are off (and thus the cornering lamps do not come on)
The fuse is 7.5A
Is there some other reason that 3497 bulbs would blow a fuse? Or is Wagner just that poor quality? These are NOS Wagner bulbs, made in the USA.
