Additional Notes

The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12 volts and 5 watts.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge-type fitting, meaning the bulb is held in place by tension from the socket rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism.
The CFMOTO CFORCE 500 uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate position across the 2016-2018 model years.
At 5 watts, the 12961 is a low-power bulb typical of license plate lighting applications, where output requirements are minimal.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular form factor, with the numeral indicating a width of 10 eighths of an inch, a standard sizing convention in miniature automotive bulbs.
The W2.1x9.5d base specification is an IEC-standard designation, where 2.1 refers to the pin width in millimeters and 9.5 refers to the base length in millimeters, ensuring a defined fit within compatible sockets.
