Do you have the lighting pkg? If yes, your turn signal bulb is actually 2357A. 1156A is for C's with halogens. For Osram/Sylvania SilverVision replacement, you can try 2057A. It works for me.

(Thanks Doug (citron) again for sending me the signal bulbs!)

I have 2057A currently with my BiXenon headlights that also use 2357A. The computer does not show any errors at all.

Doug (Citron) bought them for me. However, they should be available at your local Checkers. You can always look up the dealer info at www.sylvania.com

Does anyone recommend buying replacement bulbs over at Auto Zone? They have a decent selection of Sylvania bulbs since that's what most of you are suggesting.
