If I do this right here's a pic of the old girl...
Yup, two filaments, two pins offset vertically=1157. Single pole, two pins level with each other=1156. These two bulbs have been the basis for every automotive lightbulb for the past 50 years.
Porsche had a neat trick up it's sleeve for some bulbs though. They look exactly like a 56 or 57, but the pins are offset differently around the circumference of the base. Bastards!
Anyway, less bulbs, more minis.
