Isn't it the 1157 that's a dual-element bulb?
I know that sometimes an 1156 is amber (for turn signals) but I've never seen an amber 1141, and I wonder if the reason is that 1141 bulbs are so often used as back-up lights.

The 1141 is a single element bulb meaning it only has one brightness. The 1156 is a twin element bulb, one for high and one for low beams.

They are identical by the eye and both will work in the same socket, both are single filament, the 1156 is brighter [hotter, multiple colors also] and could possibly melt sense covers, the LEDs will last longer with less heat but, they do currently cost more.

If memory serves me the difference is on the posts of the bulb the little stems are at different poditions.
