And it you can't figure out the wattage of what you have... just swap the bulbs left for right and see if the problem moves (that's an IBM diagnostic method for those who used to work with mainframes).

Turns out it wasn't the bulbs but just a dumbass mistake on my part. The park light assembly was loose where it mounted to the grille so I removed it to do repairs. When I reconnected the wires I got the park light and signal wires reversed. Anyway I took a felt marker to mark the correct position for next time.
