Default Are the rear bulbs and corner bulbs the same?

I purchased a couple of bulbs for the rear "corner" and was wondering if these bulbs are the same as the front corner bulbs. Any ideas?

Default no, the front corner/blinker bulbs are the flat ended push in kind, rears are "bayonet" round metal

ends (AT LEAST IN MY 99.5 AUDI A4)

Default Do you mean that the front bulbs have the prongs?

Like 3 or 4 prongs in the front bulbs? As opposed to the rears which are the flat metal?

Default not really... pics of both (kinda) inside

concentrate on the bases of these bulbs, not the actual bulb itself
this is what the rear bulbs look like (bayonet style)(SINGLE FILAMENT like for blinker, reverse, rear fog)

DOUBLE FILAMENT(for rear brake lights)

and this is what the fronts look like(wedge style)(dual filament)

Default let's get this straight

These are all of the exact signal lights from a stock Audi A4.

Default what year is that? My 99.5 front turn signals are wedge style (and I put clear ones in not amber)

but that's me being ricey, YES it's legal (well I haven't gotten pulled over) because even the clear bulbs will glow a little bit amberish. Your pic of the bulbs are for older ones because the side blinker for 99.5 plus needs the amber tiny bulb since our plastic is clear, but I changed that one to a clear one also.
BUT KUDOS on the better pic (google, you let let me down, man, you let me down)
