Additional Notes

The P21W is the sole bulb type listed across all rear turn signal positions in these specifications, appearing in the Harley-Davidson FXDF Fat Bob for the 2012-2017 model years.
The P21W is an ECE-standard single-filament bulb rated at 12 volts and 21 watts, designed specifically for signalling functions such as turn signals rather than continuous illumination.
The P21W uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet fitting. The "s" in BA15s denotes a single contact pin, distinguishing it from the dual-contact BA15d variant, which is not interchangeable with this application.
The ECE designation on the P21W indicates compliance with United Nations Economic Commission for Europe regulations, a standard recognized across European and many international markets.
Because the BA15s base is a single-contact design, substituting a dual-contact bayonet bulb such as the BA15d would result in an incorrect fit, even if the physical housing appears similar.
At 21 watts, the P21W produces a relatively high output for a signal bulb, which is a deliberate characteristic of ECE signalling standards to ensure adequate visibility in daylight conditions.
