The 1156 is a single filiment and the 1157 is a dual for parking and brake.
The WRXs use an 1156 in the front, the SVX uses an 1157. The 1156 and 1157 are not interchangable. You can grind off a tab to make it fit, but it will short the parking and turn signals circuits together.
The bulbs you want are the 1157s. You can get them here:

They are pricey but you can create your own by taking a 1157A bulb and covering it with a thin layer of Testors # 1181 Aluminum model paint.
