The Aprilia RSV4 R uses a 5008 bulb size for front turn signals and either 232 or 5008 bulb sizes for rear turn signals. The replacement chart covers 2010 through 2015 production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Aprilia RSV4 R uses two distinct bulb types across its turn signal positions: the 5008 and the 232, both of which conform to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V. It is classified as a lower wattage variant of the more widely known 1156 bulb.
The 232 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and make contact at each end rather than through a base socket.
The front turn signal position on the RSV4 R uses the 5008 bulb across all model years from 2010-2015 without variation.
The rear turn signal position does not follow a uniform specification across all years. The 5008 is specified for 2010 and 2013, while the 232 is specified for 2011-2012 and 2014-2015.
Because the rear turn signal specification differs between certain model years, the 5008 and 232 are not interchangeable in that position without confirming the exact year of the motorcycle.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 5008 and the SV8.5 base of the 232 are physically incompatible socket types, which means substituting one for the other is not possible without modification.
