Brake Light Bulb - dimples?

Hi
I am trying to find replacement bulbs P21/4W (dual element). I found some (Sylvania/Osram #7225) with the off set dimples (one high and one low), but when viewing from the bottom the dimples are not exactly opposite each other. They should be at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock to fit.
I did find P21/5W with the correct dimples at 12 and 6, but now I have a lamp malfunction.
What manufacturer/part number is the correct bulb?.
Help is much appreciated.

Brake Light Pin Offset

Hi, I have a CLK430 W208 and have used the first bulb you spoke of, I simply filed one of the pins down and it works fine, no malfunction or error codes. I have an Autel scanner and it did not find any related errors either.
First ever post here, sorry for the late response, but it may help someone else. I hope none of the purists had an aneurysm

Cheers
