Additional Notes

The Ducati 748R uses the 12961 bulb for its license plate light across the 2000-2002 model years.
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 T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the number indicating its width in tenths of an inch, making it one of the most common miniature bulb formats in automotive lighting applications.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge-type fitting, meaning the bulb is held in place by tension from its plastic base rather than by a separate metal cap or bayonet lock.
At 5 watts, the 12961 operates as a low-power indicator-class bulb, consistent with its role in license plate illumination rather than primary lighting.
The W2.1x9.5d base specification is a standardized IEC designation, and fitment compatibility depends on matching both the base type and the physical size of the bulb to the housing.
