Additional Notes

The Kawasaki ZX600 Ninja ZX-6R uses three distinct license plate bulb types across its model years: the 12961, the 12821, and the 67.
Both the 12961 and 12821 are Philips part numbers designating T10 miniature wedge bulbs with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W.
Although the 12961 and 12821 share identical physical and electrical specifications, they carry different Philips part numbers and should not be assumed interchangeable without confirming manufacturer fitment data.
The 12961 is specified for the 2009-2012 model years, while the 12821 applies to 2007-2008.
The bulb 67 follows the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada, featuring a BA15s single-contact bayonet base rated at 12V and 8W.
The BA15s bayonet base of the 67 bulb is physically incompatible with the W2.1x9.5d wedge base of the 12961 and 12821, making cross-substitution between these types impossible without a socket adapter.
The 67 bulb is a lower-wattage variant of the 1156, drawing 8W compared to the 5W draw of the T10 wedge types used in later model years.
The 67 bulb is specified for the 1995-1997 model years of the ZX600 Ninja ZX-6R.
