Ducati 748R front and rear turn signal bulbs utilize 5008 and 232 bulb sizes for the lighting assembly. The replacement chart covers 2000 to 2002 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 5008 is an ANSI-standard single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V. It is a lower wattage variant of the more widely known 1156 bulb.
The 232 is an ANSI-standard festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and seat by pressing between two spring contacts rather than inserting into a socket.
Both the 5008 and 232 conform to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
The Ducati 748R uses two distinct bulb types across its front turn signal positions depending on the model year. The 2001-2000 front turn signal takes a 232 festoon bulb, while the 2002 model year uses a 5008 bayonet bulb in the same position.
Because the 232 and 5008 have different base types, a festoon SV8.5 base versus a BA15s bayonet base, they are not interchangeable with each other.
The rear turn signal on the Ducati 748R uses the 5008 bulb across all three model years covered, spanning 2000-2002.
On the 2001-2000 748R, the front and rear turn signals require different bulb types, meaning the front and rear positions do not share a common replacement bulb for those years.
On the 2002 748R, both the front and rear turn signals use the 5008 bulb, making the front and rear positions share a single bulb specification for that year.
