Did you check out the 987 amberectomy thread I linked to in my signature?

987 Amberectomy

I just went to the link to Dons Bulbs in that thread and curiously enough, the 7506 seems to be just about identical to the 7507--the difference being the bayonet connector is different--one of the nubs (for lack of a better term) is offset by thirty degrees on the 7507. I guess that allows the bulb to always be clocked in a given direction. Neato.

So I guess 7506 is bad, 7507 is good. 7225 looks similar but I don't think it's correct as the owner's manual states that the bulb is a PY21W. The 7225 is listed as a P21-4W. What all that means, I have no idea...
