Moto Guzzi V11 EV front turn signal bulbs measure 232 and 5008 in size, while rear turn signal bulbs measure 5008, with specifications detailed for the bulb configurations across both positions. The replacement chart covers 1998 to 1999 production years for this motorcycle model.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Moto Guzzi V11 EV uses two distinct bulb types across its turn signal positions: the 232 and the 5008, both conforming to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
The 5008 is the more prevalent of the two across the V11 EV's turn signal specifications, appearing in the rear turn signal positions for both 1998 and 1999, as well as the front turn signal position for 1998.
The 5008 operates on a 12-volt system and uses a BA15s single-contact bayonet base, a base type that does not accept double-contact bayonet bulbs without modification.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb and is classified as a lower wattage variant of the 1156, meaning the two share the same BA15s base but are not rated at identical wattage levels and are not directly interchangeable in all applications.
The 232 is a festoon-style bulb, meaning it is cylindrical with end caps rather than a protruding base, and it seats into spring-clip holders rather than a socket with a bayonet or wedge fitting.
The 232 uses an SV8.5 base, operates at 12 volts, and is rated at 3 watts, placing it in a low-output category suited to indicator rather than illumination functions.
The front turn signal position on the V11 EV changed bulb types between model years, with the 1998 model using the 5008 and the 1999 model using the 232, indicating a difference in lamp housing design between those two years.
Because the 232 festoon and the 5008 bayonet bulbs use entirely different mounting systems, they are physically non-interchangeable regardless of voltage compatibility.
