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...
the way i figured out the 7225 works is that the other rear bulbs (brakes, etc) are 7225 and i pulled one out and it fit perfectly in the front. actually, if you look on don's bulbs, the 7225 is synonymous with the py21w. sylvania guide incorrectly lists the front blinker as a 7506 - it also has incorrect info for the 987 high beam.
