Chrysler 200 front and rear side marker bulbs utilize a 12961 bulb size across both locations. The replacement chart covers 2011 to 2014 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 12961 is a Philips miniature wedge bulb built on the T10 form factor, using a W2.1x9.5d base with a 12-volt, 5-watt rating.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge-type connection, meaning the bulb is held in place by tension from the socket rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism.
At 5 watts, the 12961 operates at a low power draw typical of marker and parking light applications, where continuous illumination is expected without significant electrical load.
The Chrysler 200 uses the 12961 bulb for the front side marker position across the 2011-2014 model years.
The rear side marker position on the Chrysler 200 is also specified for the 12961 bulb, confirming that the front and rear side marker positions share the same bulb type.
Because the front and rear side marker positions use the same 12961 bulb, a single bulb type serves both locations on the vehicle.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the number indicating a width of 10 eighths of an inch, a standard sizing convention in miniature automotive bulbs.
The 12961 carries a Philips part number, placing it within that manufacturer's catalog for miniature wedge bulbs rather than representing a universal industry code.
