Im trying to do the amber cluster in my 96 Civic and I followed the steps that some member here did which was really easy to do, but my question is I tried to look around the city for some #24 and I purchased some #24A and they can't fit in the socket. I thaught I give it a try but they can seem to work when i plug to see if it works so is the size of #24 and #24A the same and do I have to just work it around to get it in there?
