1157 Dual Filament...which one is which?
I need to know which one of the two filaments is the higher wattage one. Usually the sizes are 8/27w or 5/21w correct?
I'm asking because I have two slightly used PIAA Xtremes...I probably used them for a few days, but I noticed today (after removing them a few weeks ago) that one of the filaments is curling...it makes a slight arch rather than a straight line from one wire to the other.
Could this be due to the shaved nib mod that I did?

are you sure? It seems like the lower one, furthest away from the top of the bulb, has a Thicker filament (coil diameter) than the other one.
If I'm wrong, then man, the 1157 rewire really warps the filament.
