BMW Motorcycle R1200GS front and rear turn signal bulbs utilize a 5008 size across both positions. The replacement chart covers 2004 to 2007 model 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 BMW Motorcycle R1200GS uses the 5008 bulb for both front and rear turn signals across the 2004-2007 model years.
The 5008 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type recognized in the US and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a single filament.
It uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact base with a 15mm collar, secured by two pins on opposite sides of the base.
The 5008 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb. Both share the BA15s base, but the reduced wattage of the 5008 means the two are not directly interchangeable without accounting for the wattage difference.
The "Without Clear Lens" notation on the R1200GS applies to all listed model years and both front and rear positions, indicating this fitment is specific to non-clear lens configurations.
