RT Rear Turn Signal Bulb Source.

Had to replace the rear turn signal bulb on my 2012RT-S. The OEM part# is: Philips 12496. The odd thing about this bulb is that the mounting prongs are not at 12 and 6 o'clock but instead are at 12 and 5 o'clock. I found replacement bulbs at NAPA Auto Parts part#: 17638NA at a cost of $2.29. These bulbs fit the rear turn light on certain BMW and Audi models. Hope this helps someone!

The reason why the pins are at 12 & 5, not 6 o'clock is that the bulb is amber to shine through a clear lens. if the bulb was white to shine through an amber lens, the pins are at 12 & 6 o'clock. This is so you dont use the wrong bulb for the lens colour.
