Additional Notes

The P21W is the sole rear turn signal bulb type listed for the Harley-Davidson XL883L SuperLow across the 2011-2019 model years.
The P21W operates at 12 volts with a 21-watt output, classifying it as a single-filament incandescent bulb intended for signalling functions.
This bulb follows the ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) standard, a regulatory framework adopted across Europe and numerous other markets worldwide.
The P21W uses a BA15s bayonet base, which is a single-contact bayonet fitting with a 15mm collar width, distinguishing it from dual-contact variants such as the BAY15d.
The single-filament construction of the P21W means it serves one dedicated function, in this case turn signalling, rather than combining multiple lighting roles within one bulb.
Because the BA15s base is a single-contact type, substitution with physically similar but electrically different bayonet bases would result in incorrect fitment for the XL883L SuperLow rear turn signal position.
