I have a rear signal light bulb question....
What bulb do you have in the rear signal lights? 1156? Here's what I found on my car;
I have a '93 TT (my brother has a '93 n/a convertible).
We were both switching to LED's at the rear. He put in 1156's. When I tried to put in my 1156 LED's, they would not fit. Low and behold, they are 7507's. That means the base pins are not a 180 degrees opposite each other. They are at 150 degrees opposite.
WTH??? Same year cars. Same OEM US spec wiring harness (I think?). I looked up the bulb chart for these cars and don't see where they list 7507's for the rear indicator bulbs for '93 TT's. I sanded off a pin on the LED's and they fit and work fine (needed a different indicator relay to work with the LED's to prevent fast flashing).
*saw this and tried it;

Just curious as to why the same year cars (/93 TT vs n/a) would have different rear signal bulb requirements.
