1156 vs 1141 parking light bulbs

FuzzMember

My euro parking lenses have melted (always have been since I bought the car) right in front of where the bulb is. I ordered new lenses and before I put them on, I was trying to figure out why the original lenses melted in the first place. I took out the bulb and it is an 1156 bulb. Reading online, I saw numerous posts from RV folks who had replaced their 1141 bulbs with 1156 bulbs to get more lumens, but ended up melting their lenses. I am assuming that the original owner of my Pantera made a similar mistake. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Did the euros come with 1141 bulbs, or did they have 1156 bulbs and maybe sometime during its life my car had a hiccup and the bulb got too hot and melted the lens.
