Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Cruze uses the 12961 bulb for the glove box across all listed model years, spanning 2011-2017.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor.
T10 refers to a tubular bulb with a width of 10 millimeters, a standard sizing convention in automotive lighting.
The 12961 uses a W2.1x9.5d base, which is the wedge-style base type common to small interior and courtesy lighting applications.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and 5 watts, consistent with low-power interior illumination requirements.
The W2.1x9.5d base designation indicates a wedge base with a 2.1-millimeter wire contact width and a 9.5-millimeter insertion depth.
Because the same bulb number applies to all seven listed model years of the Chevrolet Cruze, the glove box socket specification remained unchanged throughout that production span.
The T10 wedge format is widely used across many vehicle makes and models, though fitment compatibility depends on the specific socket design of each vehicle.
