Unless I was misunderstanding an earlier part of the thread, or an
earlier respondent was in error, some of them used a P21W single
filament bulb which I have and which fits right in. I'd rather not use
dual filament bulbs if I can help it, my own opinion (which is worth
exactly what you paid for it) is the brake lights are more discernible
if they don't share taillamp real estate with parking lights anyway.

No matter, I eventually ended up searching on eBay and found what I was
looking for on one of the European sites.
