The Aprilia SL1000 Falco uses 5008 and 232 bulb sizes for both front and rear turn signal applications. Replacement chart data covers 2000 to 2004 production years.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Aprilia SL1000 Falco uses two bulb types across its front and rear 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 a lower wattage variant of the more widely known 1156 bulb, sharing the same base type but drawing less power.
The 232 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and seat by contact pressure at each end rather than by a twist or bayonet mechanism.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 5008 and the SV8.5 base of the 232 are not interchangeable. These two bulb types use fundamentally different mounting systems and socket designs.
For the front turn signal on the SL1000 Falco, the 5008 bulb is specified for the 2001 and 2003-2004 model years, while the 232 is specified for the 2000 and 2002 model years.
For the rear turn signal, the 5008 is specified for the 2002-2004 model years, and the 232 is specified for the 2000-2001 model years.
In several model years, the front and rear turn signals on the SL1000 Falco do not share the same bulb type. The 2001 model year, for instance, uses the 5008 at the front and the 232 at the rear.
The 2002 model year presents the reverse configuration, with the 232 specified at the front and the 5008 at the rear, making it the only year where this particular front-to-rear inversion occurs.
