The Kia Sorento parking light requires bulb sizes 2357 and 2357NA for proper illumination across various vehicle trims. Available data for bulb specifications covers the range from 2003 to 2020.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
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.
