The Victory High-Ball front and rear turn signal bulbs utilize 5008 and 232 sizes, with specifications detailed in a replacement chart. The chart covers 2012 through 2017 model 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 two bulb types specified for the Victory High-Ball turn signals are the 5008 and the 232, both conforming to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V. It is a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb, meaning the two share the same base type but are not interchangeable due to the wattage difference.
The 232 is a festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in form and mount by pressing between two spring contacts rather than inserting into a socket.
The 5008 is the more frequently specified bulb across both front and rear turn signal positions on the Victory High-Ball, appearing in the majority of model year entries.
The front turn signal on the Victory High-Ball uses the 5008 for the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2017 model years, while the 232 is specified for 2013 and 2015.
The rear turn signal uses the 5008 for 2013-2016, while the 2017 model year specifies the 232 for that position.
The front and rear turn signals do not always share the same bulb type within a given model year. For example, the 2017 Victory High-Ball uses a 5008 at the front and a 232 at the rear, making position-specific verification necessary before replacement.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 5008 and the SV8.5 festoon base of the 232 are physically incompatible mounting types, so substituting one bulb for the other in a given socket is not possible without modification.
