The Ducati 996 Biposto uses 5008 and 232 bulb sizes for both front and rear turn signal applications. The replacement chart covers 1999 to 2001 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 Ducati 996 Biposto uses two distinct bulb types across its front and rear turn signal positions: the 5008 and the 232, both of which conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12 volts. It is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, sharing the same base type but drawing less power.
The 232 is a festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12 volts and 3 watts. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and mount by contact pressure at each end rather than by a base socket.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 5008 and the SV8.5 base of the 232 are physically incompatible with each other, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable despite both operating at 12 volts.
For the front turn signal on the Ducati 996 Biposto, the 5008 bulb applies to the 2000-2001 model years, while the 232 applies to the 1999 model year.
The rear turn signal position reverses this pattern: the 232 bulb applies to the 2000 model year, while the 5008 applies to the 1999 and 2001 model years.
The 2000 model year is notable in that its front and rear turn signal positions require different bulb types from each other, with the 5008 at the front and the 232 at the rear.
The 1999 model year similarly requires different bulb types across positions, with the 232 at the front and the 5008 at the rear, making cross-position substitution incorrect for that year as well.
