Yes, you should be able to use any 1157 bulb, such as # A1157B. So long as it is an 1157 bulb it will fit the socket and light up properly.

What’s the difference (other than price) between the A1157B bulb and the Bargman 30-90-157 bulb? Will both fit my trailer’s brake/running/turn signal light? Thx.

Both the Bargman # 30-90-157 and the Optronics # A1157B will fit your existing assembly (assuming ti takes a 1157 bulb). Honestly the only real difference here is the brand/manufacturer. I'd just go with the more cost efficient option.
