Rear Turn Signal Bulbs Driving Me Crazy (What Kind Is It?)
So I've been putting new lighting in my I30. While doing this, I thought to get the chrome coated amber turn signal bulbs. I ordered the first set, but contrary to what Silvania says (T20 connector), mine is a bayonet. I was advised to get 1156 bulbs. Those just arrived, and they do not fit either! Yhe bulbs I got have two small posts in line with each other on the connector, while the socket in my car has the two posts, but they are not in-line. Can I change the socket that my car has for these bulbs? Or can someone help me with what kind of bulb I really need to order. I don't want to keep spending money on bulbs I can't even use (spent $30 already). Thanks!

The bulb number is PY21W. It is identical to the 1156 with the exception that the pins on the side of the bulb are at a different offset as the 1156. The 7507 is the same thing as the PY21W. I didn't like orange bulbs in my tails to i just stuck clear 1156 bulbs in it. You have to force them down a lil but they work nonetheless.
Edit: It seems the 1156 and 7507 run at different voltage and watts but I haven't have a problem with using 1156 to replace them on my I30t.
