I was trying to install my clear corner lamps (APC), wich included orange blinker bulbs. The orange bulbs was a 2-polarty bulb, and the one's that was in my car, only had one.

Are there different types of bulbs on the camaros?

It's not Polarity, it's how many filiments...

The metal sides of the bulb is ground, and the center pins on the bottom are positives, if you have 1 then it's a single filiment, if it has 2 then it's a double filiment. If you need to see which one you need just look inside the socket. The single will just have a pad in the center, whereas the dual will have 2 pads.



good luck...

Thanks, my English is not so good, but I understand what you mean.

So there is different kinds of filiments on different years?

Nope....

different filiments in the bulbs do different things.. 1 is your parking light, the other filiment is your turn signal...

It doesn't matter the year of the car... But different cars in general use different bulbs for different things. Look in the socket (what the bulb goes into) to see which bulb you need, dual or single.

I need a bulb with 2 filiments, but I am curios why the clear corner lamps come with a 1 filiment bulb?

I have another bulb for the parking light.

because some cars had DRL (Day-Time Running Lights) that's why they have the dual filiment instead of the single filiment.
