Ducati 800 front turn signal bulbs measure 232 and 5008 in size, while rear turn signal bulbs measure 5008, with specifications detailed in the replacement chart. The chart covers 2003 to 2004 model years and documents bulb sizes for turn signal applications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Ducati 800 uses two distinct bulb types across its front and rear turn signal positions: the 232 and the 5008, both conforming to ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
The 5008 is the more prevalent of the two types in these specifications, appearing in the rear turn signal position for both 2003-2004 model years and in the front turn signal position for the 2003 model year.
The 5008 operates at 12 volts and uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact base commonly found in single-filament automotive bulbs.
The 5008 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb. While it shares the same BA15s base as the 1156, the two are not identical, and wattage differences may affect circuit compatibility in some applications.
The 232 bulb is a festoon type, meaning it is cylindrical in form and held in place by contact at each end rather than by a base socket. It uses an SV8.5 base and operates at 12 volts with a rated output of 3 watts.
The 232 appears exclusively in the front turn signal position of the 2004 Ducati 800, distinguishing that model year from the 2003 in that specific position, which uses the 5008 instead.
Because the 232 and 5008 use fundamentally different mounting systems, a festoon holder versus a bayonet socket, the two bulb types are not interchangeable with each other.
