The Land Rover LR2 side marker utilizes a 12961 bulb size for the exterior lighting system. Data for the specific component covers the period from 2008 through 2014.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Land Rover LR2 uses the 12961 bulb across all listed front side marker positions, spanning model years 2008-2015.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, operating at 12 volts and 5 watts.
The T10 designation refers to a tubular bulb with a width of approximately 10 millimeters, commonly found in low-current automotive marker and interior lighting applications.
The 12961 uses a W2.1x9.5d base, which is the standard wedge-type base for T10 bulbs. The base is held in its socket by friction rather than a locking twist mechanism.
At 5 watts, the 12961 draws minimal current, consistent with its role as a marker lamp rather than a primary illumination source.
The rear side marker position on the Land Rover LR2 also specifies the 12961 bulb, covering model years 2008-2010, making the front and rear positions fully interchangeable in terms of bulb fitment for those years.
Because both the front and rear side marker sockets on the LR2 share the same W2.1x9.5d wedge base, a single bulb type services all listed side marker positions on the vehicle.
The W2.1x9.5d base is not compatible with bayonet or festoon-style sockets, so substitution with bulbs using those base types would not be physically viable in these positions.
