Additional Notes

The Kawasaki KLE300 Versys-X 300 uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate position across the 2017-2020 model years.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, operating at 12 volts and 5 watts.
The T10 designation refers to a tubular bulb with a width of 10/8 of an inch, commonly found in low-current auxiliary lighting positions such as license plate and courtesy lamps.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge-type fitting, meaning the bulb is held in place by tension from the socket rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism.
At 5 watts, the 12961 draws minimal current, which is consistent with its role as a static indicator lamp rather than a primary lighting source.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a standardized wedge format, and aftermarket T10 wedge bulbs sharing this base type are generally interchangeable with the 12961 provided they match the 12V, 5W electrical rating.
