Um........

How about pulling the old one out and looking at it?

Or maybe looking it up at the part's store?

bless your heart. the one on the left is one of the sylvania silverstar bulbs i just got(it's red b/c of my camera, really it's blue looking) and the one on the right is a crappy bulb that procarparts just sent me with my clear corners. when i noticed that the silverstars were a wedge i got worried b/c i thought the twist bulbs were the right ones. ok great, thanks.

b/c my X is currently at the garage in 7 pieces after the accident. i already knew the part #'s, i researched sylvania's sight before i bought them, i just got worried when i saw 2 different style bulbs. i never had to change a turn signal yet on the X, so i would not remember what style it was.

Only one of those bulbs is a 3157. (wedge base)
The other is an 1157.(bayonet base)
That is if they are dual filiment bulbs.
If single filiment then they are 3156 / 1156.

The double filament bulbs might also be 3357 or 3457.
