Additional Notes

The Mini Cooper Clubman uses two distinct glove box bulb types across its model years: the 74 and the 12961, both miniature wedge-style bulbs operating on 12 volts.
The 74 bulb follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada. It is a T5 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 1.4W, making it notably lower in wattage than the other type used in this application.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designation for a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W. Its wattage is significantly higher than the 74, reflecting a different socket and electrical load.
The Mini Cooper Clubman (2021-2023) uses the 74 bulb for the glove box position.
The 2016-2019 model years use the 12961 bulb in the same glove box position.
The T5 and T10 designations refer to the bulb body width in units of one-eighth of an inch, meaning the T10 body is wider than the T5. These two types are not interchangeable due to differences in physical size, base type, and wattage.
The W2.1x9.5d base specification on the 12961 describes a wedge base with a 9.5mm pin spacing, a detail relevant to socket compatibility when sourcing a replacement.
