The Victory Hammer front and rear turn signal bulbs utilize a 232 or 5008 size specification across the motorcycle's production line. Replacement chart data spans from 2011 to 2017, detailing bulb sizes for each model year within that range.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Victory Hammer uses two bulb types across its turn signal positions: the 232 and the 5008, both of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 232 is a festoon-style bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12 volts and 3 watts. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and make contact at each end rather than through a base socket.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12 volts. The BA15s base uses a single locating pin, which orients the bulb in one position during installation.
The 5008 is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb. While both share the BA15s bayonet base, the two are not identical in wattage output, which is a relevant distinction for turn signal circuit compatibility.
For the front turn signal on the Victory Hammer, the 2011-2012 and 2014-2016 model years use the 5008, while the 2013 and 2017 model years use the 232.
For the rear turn signal, the 2011-2012 and 2014-2015 model years use the 5008, while the 2013 and 2016-2017 model years use the 232.
The front and rear turn signals do not always share the same bulb type within a given model year. In 2016, for example, the front position uses the 5008 while the rear uses the 232.
Because the 232 festoon and the 5008 bayonet bulbs use physically different base types, they are not interchangeable with each other regardless of voltage compatibility.
