Which Filiment?

["Frank Bakanau" <FBAKANAU@xxxx>]

I should probably know this, since my father was an engineer for Tung-Sol
and made millions of these. On a typical 1157 bulb, which filament is
normal on, and which is for brake/signal. When I rewired the car, I copied
what was there, but I suspect its bass-ackwards. The shorter, lower
filament is on, and the upper longer filament is brake/signal. When the
lights are on, you can hardly notice the brake/signal. I hard-grounded the
sockets with a wire lead.

Thanks,
