Rear blinker bulb question

Hooray it's finally letting me post my own threads! BOUT TIME! My question is this. The rear blinker bulbs in my max are py/21w. 1156's do not fit in. Is there another name for a py/21w bulb? I wanna get the silverstar turn signals for both the front and the rears, and was wondering if there was a bulb that would work in the rears. tia...

Yeah, there isn't a bulb that will fit in the rear turn signals except bulb number PY21W. Philips brand makes these bulbs. I had bought some a few years ago before I swapped my taillights, but I forgot where I had purchased them. Google it and there are plenty of sites that sell them.

If you're still looking for the bulbs, I got my PY/21W bulbs at pep boys.

thanks dank, but i got them a while ago. The 7507 (iirc) is what i got. I got them and the 1157 silverstar turn signals. They look MUCH cleaner, well worth the 25 bucks i paid for them both.

why would you usually have to modify a bulb
