Default Rear Light Cluster - Orange Light bulb

I had the need to remove my drivers side rear light cluster, and when removed, noticed that the Orange Light bulb was looking a bit worse for wear. By that, I mean the bulb appeared to have had an orange coating on the outside of the bulb glass which had cracked and flaked off in places, so decided to replace it. I bought the bulbs at the Local Auto Spares shop, but had difficulty inserting the bulb. On investigation I found that the pins on the stem, for lack of better words, were offset on the diameter, which is the reason they would not fit. I have never seen this before. I HAVE seen in the past, these pins offset in the length of the stem, which is what I always check for BUT never this way ?????
Have these GOT to be a Dealer Part ????? STRANGE TO ME

You may want to eliminate the "Egg Yolk Look", these bulbs eliminate the yellow look through the clear plastic lenses, front and back. They do flash Amber, meeting all legal requirements for each state inspection in the USA. I have these on my SRT6 and it looks much cleaner, even though they are a little pricey.
Just my 2 cents......

They are both correct and while you're at it you can do the fronts also, and don't forget to remove the tail light assembly and empty out the flakes that will be lying in there.

What type of light is that? It seems that both my "middle" rear lights aren't working.
