Default 96 Accord turn signal bulb conversion

I just bought some new LED bulbs for the turn signals on my Accord and they happen to be the flat, wedge kind of connectors, but my bulb housings are the round kind. Is there any way I could rig the new ones to fit or would I have to buy different connectors?

Fairly sure the bulbs for the front corner/parking lights are 168s. There should be an LED that fits that size, it is common enough. Same socket is used for 194 bulbs as well. If the bulb does not fit the socket then it is the incorrect bulb for the application.

Not the corner parking lights, the blinker lights on the front bumper. I know they're 7440s but is there a way to make them work with the factory connectors?

Try Oreilly's and see if they have a rack of the Pilot Automotive LED bulbs. I think they have a 7440 in amber.
