Additional Notes

The 921 bulb is the specified back up light size across all listed model years of the Mercedes-Benz GLC300, spanning 2016-2022.
The 921 is classified as a T15 wedge-base bulb, meaning it uses a plastic wedge-shaped base rather than a metal pin or bayonet fitting, and is inserted directly into a socket without a separate holder.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 16 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive electrical systems.
The 921 designation follows ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating a standardized specification for bulb geometry and electrical performance.
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 carries a notation specifying compatibility with vehicles equipped with Halogen Capsule Headlamps, distinguishing that trim or configuration from others in the same model year.
