The Ducati Monster 750 uses 5008 and 232 bulb sizes for both front and rear turn signal applications. The replacement chart covers 1997 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 Ducati Monster 750 front and rear turn signals draw from two bulb types across the 1997-2002 model years: the 5008 and the 232, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the US and Canada.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V. It is a lower wattage variant of the widely known 1156 bulb, sharing the same base type but drawing less power.
The 232 is a festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and seat by pressing between two end contacts rather than inserting into a socket with a twist or push.
The 5008 and 232 use fundamentally different base types, a bayonet mount versus a festoon end-cap mount, making them physically non-interchangeable despite both operating at 12V.
The front turn signal on the Ducati Monster 750 uses the 5008 for all listed years except 2001, which specifies the 232 instead.
The rear turn signal specification shifts across the production run. The 232 is specified for 1997, 1998, and 2001, while the 5008 is specified for 1999, 2000, and 2002.
The 2001 model year is the only year in which both the front and rear turn signals share the same bulb type, with the 232 specified for both positions.
Because the rear turn signal alternates between the 5008 and the 232 across different years, year-specific confirmation is necessary before substituting one bulb for the other in that position.
