Additional Notes

The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, which uses a W2.1x9.5d base. This base type features two contact points integrated into the plastic wedge itself, requiring no separate metal pins or solder connections.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and consumes 5 watts, which is standard for low-current interior and exterior accent lighting positions such as license plate illumination.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the numeral indicating a width of ten eighths of an inch. This form factor is one of the most widely used in automotive auxiliary lighting applications.
The Hyundai Kona N uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate position across the 2022-2023 model years, indicating a consistent fitment specification across that production span.
The W2.1x9.5d base standard is defined by IEC specifications, where 2.1 refers to the contact width in millimeters and 9.5 refers to the wedge length in millimeters. Substituting a bulb with a different base designation risks an improper fit or electrical incompatibility.
