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.

this is a classic case of people not being able to offer helpful advice cos you havent told us what country you are from(or even better what market your car was made for)I can see its prolly a euro car but help us out!

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.

Thanks!!! I was wondering how come the signal works but the parking light doesn't.
