Light Bulb Question....

I've been looking around and I've seen that must of you use the 3497 bulbs for the front turn signals (according to the Sylvania guide) but my turn signals are not like that. The 3497 are like push in and twist (I don't know what you call it) and mine are more like the wedge bulbs (just push it in) any hint on this? Anybody got aftermarket bulbs (PIAA or any other)and have the same setting I do?

Isn't it because you switch your turn signal lights around..........turn signal is the push and twist and the outter lights are the wedge bulbs.

Mine fit perfectly. Just make sure you push them all the way in or they wont make contact
