Additional Notes

The Hyundai Santa Fe parking light specifications reference three distinct bulb types across the 2001-2016 model years: the 12961, the 1157, and the 2357NA.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge-style T10 bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W. It is a single-filament design used in low-draw parking light applications and fits the Santa Fe for the 2013-2016 model years.
The 1157 is an ANSI-standard dual-filament bulb with a BAY15d bayonet base, rated at 12V with a 21W high filament and a 5W low filament. Its dual-filament construction allows it to serve more than one lighting function within a single housing. It is specified for the 2007-2012 model years.
The 2357NA carries the same BAY15d bayonet base as the 1157 and is also a dual-filament type, but it is rated at a higher 26.9W and 8W respectively. The "NA" designation indicates natural amber glass, meaning the color is produced by the glass envelope rather than by an external lens or coating. It is specified for the 2001-2006 model years.
Because the 1157 and 2357NA share the BAY15d bayonet base, they are physically interchangeable in terms of socket fit. However, their wattage ratings differ, and the 2357NA produces amber-tinted output by design, which the standard 1157 does not.
The 12961 uses a wedge-style W2.1x9.5d base, which is mechanically incompatible with the BAY15d bayonet socket used by both the 1157 and the 2357NA. Substitution between these groups is not possible without a socket adapter.
