Additional Notes

The rear turn signal on the Harley-Davidson FLD Switchback uses two distinct bulb standards across its production years: the 199 and the P21W.
Both the 199 and P21W share identical electrical ratings of 12V and 21W, and both use a BA15s single-contact bayonet base with a single filament.
The 199 is an ANSI-standard bulb used in the United States and Canada, while the P21W follows the ECE standard applied in Europe and other international markets.
The 199 is a variant of the 1156 bulb type, meaning it shares the same base configuration and general construction as that widely used automotive signalling bulb.
For the Harley-Davidson FLD Switchback, the 199 bulb is specified for the 2012 and 2016 model years, whereas the P21W is specified for 2013-2015.
Despite their different regional standards and designations, the shared BA15s base means the 199 and P21W are physically interchangeable in terms of socket fitment, though regional compliance requirements may differ.
