Audi Q5 Glove Box Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Audi Q5 glove box uses the 12961 bulb across the 2018-2024 model years, with the exception of 2022, which is not present in the specifications.
• The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, which is one of the most widely used bulb types in automotive interior lighting applications.
• The T10 bulb uses a W2.1x9.5d wedge base, a baseless design where the glass envelope itself is held in place by spring tension within the socket rather than by a separate metal base.
• The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, which is standard for low-intensity interior illumination tasks such as glove box lighting.
• Because the 12961 is a Philips-specific part number, equivalent T10 bulbs from other manufacturers must share the W2.1x9.5d base type and the 12V, 5W rating to be considered interchangeable.
• The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape with a width of approximately 10 millimeters, a form factor also commonly referenced by the trade number 194 in North American markets.
