Steve, (MDPhotographer)

That 2018 reverse socket has a much smaller diameter then the 2017 socket. The 2017 socket has a hole diameter of a little over an inch. The 2018 socket is 21mm or about 0.83". I haven't been able to find a 3156 socket that small yet. It also has 3 tabs that appear to be 3 different sizes.

I get that the bulb housing is smaller but it is supposed to be a 3157 bulb right?i so why doesn’t the 3157
led fit?

Not sure but I think a 3157 is two element bulb and a 3156 is single element. In any case the 2018 socket is not a either, it has a different base.

Snapped off a quick picture this morning. I cleaned it up last night after a late winter snow storm on Wednesday.

Thanks!

I think I need to find a new spot for vehicle photos...I took this over 3 years ago. Same angle, same crack in the street, similar color vehicle. I knew it looked familiar. lol

Almost like you photoshopped the vehicles in. Grass looks a little greener in one though.
