Kia Sorento Parking Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 2357NA and 2357 are both ANSI-standard dual-filament bulbs operating at 12V with a high-filament draw of 26.9W and a low-filament draw of 8W, and both use the BAY15d bayonet base, a two-pin offset base that prevents incorrect insertion.
• The primary distinction between the two types is the glass envelope: the 2357NA features natural amber-tinted glass, while the 2357 uses clear glass, making the two types visually distinguishable despite their otherwise identical electrical ratings and base configuration.
• The 2357 is rated as a brighter variant of the 1157, meaning it produces more light output despite sharing the same base type and general dual-filament construction as the 1157.
• The Kia Sorento front parking light uses the 2357NA for the 2022-2023 model years, as well as for the 2003-2006 model years, indicating the natural amber variant is the more widely specified of the two types across the listed range.
• The 2020 Sorento specifies the 2357NA exclusively for vehicles equipped with projector headlamps, meaning this fitment is conditional on a specific headlamp configuration rather than applying universally to that model year.
• The 2007-2009 model years specify the clear-glass 2357 rather than the 2357NA, and although both share the BAY15d base and identical wattage ratings, substituting one for the other would result in a difference in the color of emitted light at the parking light position.
