Issue with rear turn signal Bulb

I bought 2 silver 1156 bulbs, to replace my amber rear turn signals but they did not fit. I looked in the owners manual and the OEM bulb is a PY21W bulbs with BAU15s base (what is that).

Have anyone replaced the rear turn signal bulbs with silver chrome amber bulbs? And what was type and size bulb you used.

I have a 2000 Maxima - Thanks

You need to shave down one of the nubs on the base of the bulb and it will fit. I used the file on a swiss army knife and it worked perfect.
