Additional Notes

The T10 miniature wedge bulb, designated by Philips part number 12961, is the glove box bulb type used in the Audi Q5 Sportback across the 2021-2024 model years.
The 12961 operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of interior courtesy and compartment lighting applications.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a standardized wedge-type connection, where the bulb is held in place by friction rather than a locking collar or bayonet mechanism.
The T10 designation refers to the tubular glass envelope with a width of approximately 10 millimeters, a common form factor across many interior automotive lighting positions.
Because the W2.1x9.5d base is a widely shared standard, T10 bulbs from manufacturers other than Philips may physically fit the socket, though electrical and photometric compatibility should match the 12V, 5W rating of the 12961.
