Additional Notes

The Audi TT RS Quattro uses the 12961 bulb for the glove box across all listed model years, spanning 2012-2013 and 2018-2021.
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 operates at 12 volts and 5 watts, a low-wattage rating consistent with interior courtesy and compartment lighting where heat output and power draw are kept minimal.
The W2.1x9.5d base type is the standard wedge base used across the T10 format, where the bulb is held in place by the tension of the socket rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism.
Because the W2.1x9.5d base is a widely adopted standard, T10 bulbs from various manufacturers are generally interchangeable at the socket level, provided the voltage and wattage ratings are matched.
Substituting a bulb with a higher wattage rating than the specified 5W in a low-current interior socket risks overheating the socket housing or blowing the associated fuse.
