brake: 7443

But those are all wedge type bulbs.. yet in peteski's first pic, there is a bayonet bulb and a wedge! Wtf ?!

You will have to check your individual car, but i think if you bought aftermarket or upgraded TYC's they differ on which bulb. My RS4 has TYC's stock and are all bayonet bulbs (individually wired) with a harness to connect them to stock combination harness (one connector, 3 wedge bulbs, signal controlled through circuits on back of stock light)
