[s-cars] Bulbs for clear sidemarkers

[Craig D. Niederst]

I just installed Hella clear corners on my '92 100S, and I just used amber
1157 bulbs (available at any auto parts store). The original clear bulbs
that were in the amber side markers are P21W12V21W bulbs (European bulb). I
looked long and hard, but could not locate an amber bulb for this part
number. In Europe, they use a PY21W bulb in their sidemarkers, which is a
single filament amber bulb. The 1157 and  P21W12V21W look almost identical,
except that on the 1157 the contacts on the bulb base are round, and are
more oval shaped on the P21W12V21W. But they appear to be the same wattage,
and work just fine.
