Triumph Daytona 1200 front and rear turn signal bulbs use 5008 and 232 bulb sizes for proper illumination. The replacement chart covers 1993 to 1997 model 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 a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V. It is classified as a lower wattage variant of the 1156 and conforms to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The 232 is a festoon-type bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. It also carries ANSI certification for the US and Canadian markets. The festoon form factor differs structurally from the BA15s bayonet base of the 5008, making the two types non-interchangeable.
The front turn signal on the Triumph Daytona 1200 uses the 5008 bulb for 1993-1995 and 1997, while the 1996 model year uses the 232 instead. This represents a single-year deviation from the otherwise consistent front fitment across the production run.
The rear turn signal uses the 232 bulb for 1993-1994 and transitions to the 5008 for 1995-1997. A vehicle from 1994 therefore requires different bulb types at the front and rear positions simultaneously, with the 5008 at the front and the 232 at the rear.
The 1996 model year presents a reversed configuration relative to 1994, with the 232 fitted at the front and the 5008 at the rear. Confirming the specific position before replacement is relevant for both of these years.
The BA15s base of the 5008 is a single-contact bayonet fitting. It is not compatible with the SV8.5 base of the 232, which is a cylindrical festoon format held by end caps rather than a bayonet socket.
