Default Front Turn Signal Bulb Replacement?

Sorry in advance if this is a repost. Like most I searched high and low for:
a) Front Turn Signal
b) DIY Turn Signal Replacement
c) Replace Turn Signal
d) Several combinations of these key words

and came up with mostly, how to bake my headlights in the oven or bulb codes.

Today, I received a pair of chorome "Stealth Bulbs" from ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...spagenameZWDVW

I put in my JDM clear corner/reflectors today but forgot to install my new bulbs. To put these in, do I have to remove the bumper again?

Thanks in advance.

Actually all you have to do is remove a few screws in the wheel wells pull the fender lining back and you can access the parking lights and turn signals. Just make sure you turn the steering wheel so the wheels are out of the way for instance if you are doing the pass side turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. You do not need a lift although it would make it much easier.

You want the good news, or the bad news?

The good news is that those bulbs will fit the rear signals in your '07. The bad news is that they won't fit the front. The cars pictured in the listing are '03-'05's. The front signals in the '03-'05's use 992 bulbs. I'm assuming this is what he sent you. These won't work in the '07. The '06+ Z's use 3457 bulbs in the front signals. All Z's have 992 bulbs in the rear though.

If the ones he sent you are 992's, use them in the rear and ask him to sell you a set of 3457's for the front.

Serious? DAMN! I don't have a problem with the rears. I can barely see the orange relfection from the rear...it's the front signals that're killing me. How can you tell that they're not for '07s? Did they change the bulb-type for '06-'07 for the front turnsignals?
