Japanese Tail Lights

Yeah it shouldn't be too hard. I just went to the parts store and bought some basic bulbs:
*Pair of 1156
*Pair of 1156 Amber
*Pair of 1157
*Pair of 194
And that's about it. Probably around $12 in total. I might change them to something cooler later, but this will get me going.

I guess the joke is on me. For whatever reason the 1156 Amber didn't work. Looks like the little pins on the bulb need to be at a slight angle with the diameter, if that makes sense.
I guess it makes sense, so you can't stick a clear bulb into the amber socket. The euro code for it is PY21W. Probably can't get it locally. For whatever reason, some sources equate this bulb with an 1156, but it's not the same in practice.
Corksport, any input?

You're saying some harnesses are different? That's weird. Also, who is Reg?
This looks like what I need
Looks like a regular 7507 from the parts store will work: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...Bulb-Sylvania_25984883-P_305_R|GRPLAMPAMS___#
But don't take my word for it just yet

The ADM and JDM Tails both come with a short harness that plugs into the factory main wiring harness...
SO...
When I installed my JDM tails... I removed the two rear lights... and the bulbs... and the short harness (One Per Side).....
then...
Installed the two new lights, the bulbs that came with them and the short harness that plugged directly into the car...

Why are people giving a s*** about bulbs when they can just go to the store and get some for like $1.
I can understand being concerned about not having wiring... but seriously boys... Bulbs..
EDIT: Lols, Beat me to it..
Yeah, the issue here is that people used to get these with bulbs included. No longer the case.
I'm trying to find a bulb that fits into the damn socket so I don't have to hack anything or file a bulb down to make it fit. This really is all I want to achieve. A fitment of some kind.
