My local Pep Boys is having a sale on Sylvania Silverstar turn signal bulbs. I bought 1157 for the front and 1156 for the rear per their guide. However when I went to install the rears they didn't fit. The stock bulbs have two protrusions which are slightly offset (sort of a V shape), while the 1156 bulb protrusions are directly opposite each other. All my owner's and shop manual say about the bulbs is 21 watt. Anyone know the correct bulb number for these?

I have had the same problem, the prongs don't do anything, so i just dremeled one of them off carefully and installed the bulb...
