One of my rear parking light is burnt out. So, I just pulled one out and looked at it. It is 7743 not 1157. I searched the web to see who makes this bulb. Polarg M-3 and M-13 are this style.
Turn signal looks like 1156 which has single filament. I'm not sure about this. The bulb says PY21W.
I hope this helps.

If you're talking about the signal light, which I think you are, those are 1156 BUT the metal nubbies are not 180 degrees apart (about 160 degrees). All you have to do is file one of the nubbies down before it'll fit.

Parking light? That's the brake light, right? The one in the red section? That's just an oversized wedge bulb (double filament).

Red part is 1156? No dude... it's a big wedge bulb. The yellow part is 1156 because it isn't on when you turn on the lights... only on when you signal.

The red is 1157 because when you turn the car on, the lights come on also... then if you step on the brakes, the lights become brighter. Can't do that with a 1156.

I was talking about brake light and flashing light. Yes, Kev is right. Red one looks like wedge bulb and it has dual filament. It is not 1156 or 1157. Yellow one seems like 1156 and has sigle filament.
