Additional Notes

The Ducati 749 uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate position across the 2003-2006 model years.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor.
T10 bulbs are small, wedge-shaped lamps commonly found in low-intensity automotive lighting positions such as license plate, parking, and interior applications.
The 12961 operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, which is typical for a low-power indicator or illumination bulb.
The base type is W2.1x9.5d, a wedge-style base that is retained by friction rather than a locking twist mechanism.
The W2.1x9.5d base designation indicates a wedge base with a 2.1mm wire contact width and a 9.5mm insertion depth, which determines physical fitment into the socket.
Substituting a bulb with a different base type, such as a bayonet or festoon base, would be mechanically incompatible with the W2.1x9.5d socket on the Ducati 749.
