The Piaggio BV Tourer 250 front turn signal bulb size measures 5008 or 232, while the rear turn signal bulb size measures 5008. The replacement chart covers 2007 to 2010 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
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 the Piaggio BV Tourer 250 turn signal positions, appearing in both front and rear applications for the 2008-2010 model years.
The 5008 operates at 12 volts and uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact base designed to seat the bulb with a push-and-twist motion.
As a single-filament bulb, the 5008 is dedicated to one lighting function, making it distinct from dual-filament types that serve multiple roles such as combined stop and turn signals.
The 5008 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, meaning the two share the same BA15s bayonet base but draw different amounts of power, and they are not directly interchangeable without accounting for that wattage difference.
The 2007 Piaggio BV Tourer 250 front turn signal uses the 232 bulb rather than the 5008, representing a fitment difference between the 2007 model year and the 2008-2010 model years for that position.
The 232 is a festoon bulb, a cylindrical form factor held in place by contact pressure at each end rather than by a base socket, and it uses an SV8.5 base rated at 12 volts and 3 watts.
The rear turn signal of the 2007 Piaggio BV Tourer 250 uses the 5008, while the front uses the 232, meaning the front and rear turn signals on that model year require different bulb types.
Both the 5008 and the 232 conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and physical specifications within those markets.
