Moto Guzzi California EV front and rear turn signal bulbs utilize a 5008 or 232 size specification. The replacement chart covers 2001 through 2005 production years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 5008 is the most frequently specified bulb across both the front and rear turn signal positions on the Moto Guzzi California EV, appearing in the majority of model years from 2001-2005.
The 5008 is an ANSI-standard single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12 volts, and is a lower wattage variant of the more common 1156 bulb type.
The 232 is a festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12 volts and 3 watts, and represents a physically and electrically distinct bulb type from the 5008.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 5008 and the SV8.5 festoon base of the 232 are mechanically incompatible, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable with each other.
The front turn signal on the 2003 California EV uses the 232 festoon bulb, while all other listed front turn signal years from 2001-2005 use the 5008.
The rear turn signal on the 2004 California EV uses the 232 festoon bulb, while all other listed rear turn signal years from 2001-2005 use the 5008.
The year in which the front position uses the 232 differs from the year in which the rear position uses the 232, indicating that the two positions do not share a uniform bulb specification across all model years.
Both the 5008 and the 232 conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
