Additional Notes

The 12961 bulb is the most frequently specified license plate bulb across the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 model years listed, appearing in six of the eight years covered by these specifications.
The 12961 is a T5 wedge-base bulb operating at 12 volts and 2 watts, a format widely used in low-intensity automotive lighting positions such as license plate illumination.
The H11 bulb type is specified for the 2021-2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 license plate position, which represents a notable departure from the 12961 used in surrounding years.
The H11 is a halogen bulb with a PGJ19-2 base, rated at 12 volts and typically 55 watts in standard applications, making it a significantly higher-wattage bulb than the 12961.
The 12961 and H11 are not interchangeable. They differ in base type, physical form factor, and wattage, meaning a socket designed for one will not accept the other without modification.
The 2019-2020 and 2023-2024 year groups each share the 12961 specification, indicating consistent fitment within those respective ranges.
The shift back to the 12961 in 2023-2024 after the H11 specification in 2021-2022 means that bulbs sourced for earlier 12961-equipped years are not directly applicable to the 2021-2022 model years.
