Unhappy

Planning to change the front turn signals... I believe in the UK they use PY21W bulb for the front and US spec vehicles use another kind...but for me, the car is a Canadian spec...so I wasn't too sure which to follow...I checked my manual and it stated PY21W for front and rear signals....now my question is are these the right type to order?

another member recommended the 7507 bulb

Your owners manual or bulb selection charts are not always correct. It is an extra step but better to take it before you buy the incorrect bulb and have to return it.

The front turn signal bulb is very easy to remove and inspect so you can replace it with one that is compatible with the exact original part number.
