Have been pulled over for the umpteenth time for brake light out, GRRRRRRRRR. Thankfully the policewomen was very nice and only gave me a $15 fixit in 30 days ticket. But GRRRRRRRRRRRR how many times have I fiddled with those STUPID light bulb holders that work for 3 days and then stop working when my attention is drawn in another direction, like accessory bushings crumbling, OH! another rant for another day......OK Vent over, reason for my post; it seems that 1157 bulbs are actually not correct, 7528 are to be used (per matthew):

and Sylvania:

Let the debated begin or did I miss something on my 1157 7528 BB search?
Also - converting to LED is not as easy as changing the bulb out, also need to add load resistors. Hmmmm worth it? Does it solve the random bulb out nightmare?
Any elegant solutions out there that don't involve re-building and re-wiring/soldering the whole assembly (saw that one, nice but before I go that route, looking for a KISS solution). I've tried cleaning the tabs, bending them, dielectric. Have not tried C4, but thinking about it. Thanks in advance!
