Additional Notes

The 2357NA bulb is an ANSI-standard dual-filament type rated at 12V with a high-filament draw of 26.9W and a low-filament draw of 8W. It uses a BAY15d bayonet base, which has two offset pins to prevent incorrect installation, and its natural amber glass produces the orange-tinted light required for turn signal applications without relying on a colored lens.
The 1156 and 1156NA bulbs are single-filament ANSI-standard types, each rated at 12V and 21W, fitted with a BA15s bayonet base. The BA15s base uses a single pin, making it physically incompatible with the dual-pin BAY15d base of the 2357NA. The 1156NA variant adds natural amber glass, while the standard 1156 does not.
The Hyundai Accent uses the 2357NA for the front turn signal across the 2021-2022 model years, as well as the 1995-1999 range, making it the most frequently specified front turn signal bulb across the listed model years.
For the 2019-2020 Accent, front turn signal bulb fitment is conditional on headlamp configuration. The 12496 applies to one headlamp variant and the 2357NA to the other, meaning the two model years invert which bulb corresponds to which configuration, requiring confirmation of the specific headlamp type before replacement.
The 12496 is a Philips/Osram part number designation rather than an ANSI standard code, indicating it is a specialty halogen bulb rated at 12V. Its use is restricted to the projector or non-projector headlamp variants of the 2019-2020 Accent front turn signal, depending on the year.
The rear turn signal specification for the 2022 Accent is the standard 1156, while the 2021 Accent uses the 2357NA. These two bulbs differ in both base type and filament count, meaning they are not interchangeable despite being used in the same position across consecutive model years.
The 1156NA is specified for the rear turn signal on the 2019-2020 Accent. Although it shares the BA15s base and 21W rating with the standard 1156, its amber glass coating makes it a distinct part, and substituting a clear 1156 could affect the color output of the signal if the housing lens is not itself amber-tinted.
