Default Passing Lamps

I need to replace a burned out passing lamp. The OEM lamp is a 27 watt #881 lamp.
It has an angled plug connector. I have heard someone say that you cannot use a lamp that does not have the angled plug. In another thread someone also said that you could use a Sylavania #880ST lamp for brighter light. The 880ST has a straight connector so we have conflicting info.
I would rather use the 880ST if it will fit but I don't want to spend $20+ a piece on these lamps only to find that they will not fit and since they have been installed can't return them either.

Can anybody clear this up??

Don

Are you talking about replacing the bulb or the entire assembly?

Forgot to say it is an '07 so you replace just the lamp, not the whole assembly.

I recently replaced my passing lights with the Sylvania 880ST. They have the straight plug connector. They will fit, but its tight. Much brighter at night!
