  • Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.

Our catalog currently lists 30 electrical bulb & socket parts for the 2012 Aston Martin DBS across 8 subcategories and 8 brands, covering the 6.0L V12 engine. Each part is matched to the engine(s) it fits.

What are the signs of electrical bulb & socket problems on a 2012 Aston Martin DBS?

What should I replace at the same time?

Where labor overlaps, replace bulbs in pairs so both sides age together, and put a smear of dielectric grease on the new socket contacts.

What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?

They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 2012 Aston Martin DBS was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.

How do I make sure a part fits my 2012 Aston Martin DBS?
