Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory Turn Signal Bulb Size
Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory front and rear turn signal bulbs use 5008 and 232 sizes, with front signals utilizing the 5008 bulb size and rear signals using the 232 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 2004 to 2010 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 two bulb types specified across all turn signal positions on the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory are the 5008 and the 232, both conforming 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 1156 bulb, which shares the same BA15s base but draws more 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 mount by contact pressure at each end rather than by a base socket.
Despite sharing the same bayonet base family, the 5008 and 1156 are not interchangeable without consideration of wattage differences, as substituting a higher-wattage bulb can affect turn signal flash rates and may exceed the load tolerance of the socket.
The 5008 and 232 are not interchangeable with each other, as they use entirely different base types and mounting systems.
For the front turn signal, the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory uses the 5008 bulb across model years 2005-2010, while the 2004 model year uses the 232 instead.
The rear turn signal position shows variation across model years, with the 232 specified for 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2010, and the 5008 specified for 2006, 2008, and 2009.
Because the rear turn signal bulb type alternates between the 5008 and 232 across different model years, confirming the exact year before replacement is necessary to avoid a base-type mismatch.
