Additional Notes

The Ducati 848 uses the 12961 bulb for its license plate light across all listed model years, spanning 2008-2013.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor.
T10 bulbs are among the most widely used miniature bulbs in automotive lighting, commonly found in license plate, courtesy, and instrument panel applications.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, which is standard for low-intensity auxiliary lighting positions such as license plate illumination.
The 12961 uses a W2.1x9.5d base, which is the standardized wedge-type base associated with T10 bulbs and defines the physical connection to the socket.
The W2.1x9.5d base designation indicates a wedge base with a 2.1mm wire contact width and a 9.5mm pin spacing, which determines socket compatibility.
T10 bulbs with the W2.1x9.5d base are sometimes referred to interchangeably under designations such as 194, 168, or W5W in various markets, though wattage ratings among these variants differ and substitution requires verification of the 5W rating.
