The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG parking light requires a bulb size of 12961 for the specific lighting component. Available data for the specified vehicle covers the range from 2008 to 2013.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The front parking light position on the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG uses the 12961 bulb size across the 2008-2013 model years.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, which refers to a tubular bulb roughly 10mm wide at its widest point.
The T10 bulb in this application uses a W2.1x9.5d base, a wedge-style base type that relies on the tension of the socket contacts rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism to maintain its connection.
The 12961 operates at 12 volts and 5 watts, placing it in the low-wattage category typical of parking and position lights, which are designed for continuous illumination without generating significant heat.
The consistent use of the 12961 across all six model years listed means a single bulb specification covers the entire 2008-2013 front parking light position for this vehicle.
