1156 lamps are single filament.
Taillight/brake lights use 1157.
If you put an 1156 in a 1157 socket you short the two circuits which caused an overload.
And you said to not buy from Walmart. The same product is available from other sources.
Please read what I posted!
The 1156 single filament bulb was my test light that I used to test the converter in the parking lot, and when I was wiring the lights on the trailer.
The brand new, out of the box, converter, acted the same with the 1156 bulb in the 1156 socket (The bayonet lugs won't even line up unless you shave one off) illuminated almost to no effect, artificial ground verified with the test bulb, with the new converter.
