Additional Notes

The 921 bulb is a T15 wedge-type bulb operating at 12V and 16W, standardized under the ANSI system used in the United States and Canada.
The P21W bulb is a single-filament signalling bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V and 21W, standardized under the ECE system used in Europe and worldwide markets.
The Hyundai Accent uses the 921 bulb for the back up light across the 2003-2005 and 2019-2022 model years.
The 1995-1999 model years use the P21W bulb instead, reflecting a different regional lighting standard for those vehicles.
The 921 and P21W bulbs are not interchangeable. The 921 uses a wedge base while the P21W uses a BA15s bayonet base, making the two physically incompatible with each other.
Although both bulbs operate at 12V, the P21W draws 21W compared to the 921 at 16W, representing a difference in power consumption between the two fitments.
