Audi R8 2012 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This page covers bulb fitment for the 2012 Audi R8 and is organized by lighting position so you can quickly verify the correct bulb size before ordering. Because the R8 could be equipped with different lighting setups, checking the exact lamp location matters just as much as checking the model year.
Use the bulb chart on this page to match the right bulb to each exterior and interior light, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, side markers, license plate lights, and cargo-area bulbs. That makes it easier to replace only the bulb you need and avoid confusion between similar-looking sockets and LED assemblies.
Fitment can vary by trim, lighting package, body style, and market, so always compare the chart with the bulb currently installed in your car before buying replacements. The 2012 Audi R8 may use different solutions for halogen, HID, and LED-equipped lighting, and aftermarket conversions can change the bulb type or connector style. If your car has been modified, do not rely on appearance alone; remove the bulb and confirm the marking on the base, especially for items like the front turn signal, headlight, and reverse light. A quick visual check helps prevent ordering the wrong part and is the safest way to confirm compatibility.
