Additional Notes

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate position across the 2018-2022 model years.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, which is one of the most widely used bulb types in automotive exterior lighting applications.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the number indicating a width of 10 millimetres across the widest point of the glass envelope.
The base type on this bulb is W2.1x9.5d, a wedge-style base that relies on direct contact between the metal leads and the socket walls rather than a separate pin or bayonet locking mechanism.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, which is the standard rating for low-intensity auxiliary positions such as license plate illumination.
The T10 wedge format is shared across a large number of vehicle makes and positions, meaning physical fitment alone does not confirm electrical or photometric compatibility with a specific socket.
