If I were to guess, 7443 is a single function bulb where the 7444 (the one you need) is a dual use. The parking light and the turn signal are two separate circuits. They may have the right base, but it doesn't make it the right bulb.

Didn't get a chance to verify on the Sylvania website, so it was a shot in the dark. Are all of your rear lights working and have you checked the fuses? Not trying to insult your intelligence, just making sure something wasn't overlooked. Sorry if my first post sounded a bit smart@$$y, that wasn't my intention.
**Edit**
Verified with the Owner's Manual that the OEM bulb number is a T-20na bulb, which does in fact cross to a 7443na bulb. That would lead me to look into fuses, unless something in Nissan's electrical system doesn't like the decreased wattage, which I have seen in other vehicles. Again, sorry for posting a harsh sounding email before doing my research.

Years ago I contacted v-leds about getting white/amber switchbacks for the front turn signals since the lense is clear. I explained they were t20 bulbs, but they didn't help much other than to say "not possible". Wish I could get-er done because there has got to be a way.
The rear brake lights (red brake lights, not orange turn signals) are CK style. I'm wondering if the front turn signals are wired in the CK style also?

The fuses are ok, the stock bulbs light up with no problems. I have V-leds rear turn signals installed with load resistors to stop the hyper flash, those work with no issues.
Im in contact with their tech support...they told me I should use a 3157. HAH...i sent them a picture of the bulb. they said i ordered the wrong bulb.

PS....I ordered the 7443 CK style.
Please update. Did you get the switchbacks to work? What LED bulb did you wind up using?

they actually both work on the front no problems...BUT they were no where near as bright as the V-LEDS....so i returned them.
I have stock lights in the front, and V-LEDS in the back.
V-leds 7443 bulbs only use a 3 wire setup, the Putco ones use a 4 wire setup. thats the only different i saw.....wish teh V-LEDS worked, they have the damn brightest LEDS i ever seen.
I'm looking for some new blinkers for the front headlights as well. I just installed some after market headlight housings and they don't have the amber covers over the blinkers and side marker so I need to fond some replacements that shine amber when lit.
Were the Putco's not bright at all, or just not as bright to your liking?
the stock bulb i yanked out says a 7444.
I ordered from v-leds a 7443 bulb.
Fits just fine, but only my turnsignals blink!
my parking lights do not come on.
has anyone encountered this?
Actually, this is exactly what I want my blinkers to do, I do not want the parking lights on at night.. I might order the same V-LED's that you got so I won't have to cut the parking light wire! FTW!
Quick question, did you get the hyperblink syndrom from switching to these LED's?
