Additional Notes

The 7443 is an ANSI-standardized bulb used in the United States and Canada, built on a T20 wedge form factor with a dual-filament design rated at 12 volts and drawing 21 watts on its primary filament and 5 watts on its secondary filament.
The dual-filament construction of the 7443 means it is capable of serving two lighting functions within a single housing, which is a common design choice for combined parking and stop light applications.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designation for a miniature T10 wedge bulb fitted with a W2.1x9.5d base, operating at 12 volts and 5 watts as a single-filament lamp.
The W2.1x9.5d base on the 12961 is a metric wedge base standard, and substituting a bulb with a different base type would result in an incompatible fit regardless of voltage or wattage matching.
The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport uses the 12961 for the 2013-2016 model years and transitions to the 7443 for the 2017-2018 model years, representing two distinct and non-interchangeable bulb specifications across the production run.
Because the 7443 and 12961 differ in base type, filament count, and wattage, neither bulb is a substitute for the other, and installing the wrong type for a given model year would result in a fitment or electrical mismatch.
