The Ducati 996 SPS uses a 232 bulb size for front turn signals and a 5008 bulb size for rear turn signals. The replacement chart covers 1999 to 2000 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 Ducati 996 SPS uses two distinct bulb types across its turn signal positions: the 232 and the 5008, both conforming to ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets.
The 232 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and mount by contact pressure at each end rather than by a socket base.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V. The BA15s base uses a single locating pin, which means it is not interchangeable with dual-pin bayonet variants such as the BA15d.
The 5008 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb. While both share the BA15s bayonet base, the difference in wattage means the two are not equivalent replacements in applications where wattage is a factor in turn signal flash rate or load detection.
On the 2000 Ducati 996 SPS, the front turn signal takes a 232 bulb, while the rear turn signal takes a 5008, meaning the front and rear positions require different bulb types in that model year.
On the 1999 Ducati 996 SPS, both the front and rear turn signals use the 5008 bulb, making the fitment uniform across all four signal positions that year.
The front turn signal position changed bulb types between the 1999 and 2000 model years, shifting from the BA15s-based 5008 to the SV8.5-based 232. These two bulbs are physically and electrically incompatible with each other.
