    Default Parking light bulb = signal light bulb?

    For the front parking and signal lights, are they the same bulb? I checked realoem.com. Looks like there is only one bulb inside the housing.

    Thanks.

    They are the same. Pull the turning light stalk with ignition key off a bit further and you have parking lights = one front turning light and the one side taillight.
    Wherever that is allowed like in Europe.

    Ignition lock must be, key off.

    the specific type of bulb is a dual filiment bulb, one lit up for "parking" and both lit up (i think its both) for the turn signal.
