The Hyundai Scoupe side marker requires a 12961 bulb size for proper installation and function. Data for the specific lighting component covers the period from 1995 to 1995.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Hyundai Scoupe uses two distinct bulb types across its side marker positions: the 97 and the 168, both of which are ANSI-standardized bulbs rated for use in the US and Canadian markets.
The 97 bulb is a single-filament type with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V and 13W. It is a variant of the more widely known 1156 bulb, though the two are not identical and should not be treated as direct substitutes without confirming fitment.
The 168 bulb is a miniature wedge type in the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 4.9W. Its significantly lower wattage compared to the 97 reflects its role in lower-intensity marker applications.
The front side marker position on the Hyundai Scoupe uses the 97 bulb across all model years from 1991-1995.
The rear side marker position shifted from the 97 bulb in 1991-1992 to the 168 bulb in 1993-1995, meaning the front and rear positions do not share the same bulb size in those later years.
Because the front and rear side marker bulbs differ in base type (BA15s bayonet versus wedge), they are not interchangeable with each other regardless of model year.
