The Hyosung GV250 Aquila uses 5008 and 232 bulb sizes for both front and rear turn signal applications. The replacement chart covers 2005 through 2017 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 two bulb types specified across all front and rear turn signal positions on the Hyosung GV250 Aquila are the 5008 and the 232, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized 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 widely used 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 pressing into spring-loaded contacts at each end, which differs from the twist-and-lock mechanism of a bayonet base.
Because the 5008 and 232 use fundamentally different base types, one cannot be substituted for the other regardless of voltage compatibility. Confirming the correct bulb type for the specific model year is necessary before replacement.
For the front turn signal, the Hyosung GV250 Aquila uses the 5008 in most years, while the 232 is specified for 2005, 2009, and 2015.
For the rear turn signal, the 232 is specified for 2005 being replaced by 5008 in 2006-2007, then returning for 2008-2009, again for 2012, and once more for 2015, with the 5008 covering the remaining years.
The front and rear turn signals do not always share the same bulb type within a given model year. In 2008, for example, the front position calls for the 5008 while the rear calls for the 232.
The BA15s base of the 5008 is a single-contact bayonet fitting, which is distinct from the dual-contact BA15d base. Using a dual-contact bulb in a single-contact socket would result in an improper fit.
