turn signal bulb question
so i replaced my turn signals with the euro style from Porsche and when i was changing them out, i noticed they came with new bulbs/sockets. i decided to just keep mine even though one bulb was pretty dark and obviously on the way out. i figured i could just use the bulbs that came with the housings when my old bulb finally died...
well it died. so i went to replace the bulb and found that my original bulb is a dual filament and the replacement (that came with the euro signals) is a single filament. what's more, is that the sockets aren't even the same! one is obviously made for a dual filament and the other is for a single...(the contacts are single and dual respectively...) was the single filament bulb a euro thing or has my car been altered?
