The Aprilia Tuono 1000 R front turn signal requires a 5008 bulb size, while the rear turn signal uses either 5008 or 232 bulb sizes. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2003 to 2011 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 5008 bulb is the dominant turn signal type across the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R, appearing in both front and rear positions across the majority of model years from 2003 to 2011.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb operating at 12V with a BA15s bayonet base, classified under the ANSI standard applicable in the US and Canada. It is a lower-wattage variant of the widely known 1156 bulb.
The 232 is a festoon-type bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W, also conforming to the ANSI standard for the US and Canadian markets. Its physical form and base type differ entirely from the 5008, making the two non-interchangeable.
The Aprilia Tuono 1000 R rear turn signal uses the 232 bulb in the 2003 and 2008 model years, while all other listed rear turn signal years use the 5008 bulb instead.
The front turn signal position uses the 5008 bulb uniformly across all listed model years, from 2003 through 2011.
Because the rear turn signal specification is not consistent across all model years, confirming the exact model year before selecting a rear turn signal bulb is necessary to avoid a fitment mismatch between the bayonet-base 5008 and the festoon-type 232.
The BA15s base on the 5008 is a single-contact bayonet fitting, which is distinct from the SV8.5 base on the 232. These base types are physically incompatible with each other's housings.
