Additional Notes

The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate position across all listed model years from 2007-2016.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12 volts and 5 watts.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular form factor, which is among the most widely used miniature bulb types in automotive and motorcycle lighting applications.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge-style base, meaning the bulb is held in its socket by the tension of the glass envelope itself rather than by a separate metal cap or bayonet pins.
At 5 watts on a 12-volt circuit, the 12961 draws approximately 0.42 amperes, which is consistent with low-current auxiliary lighting roles such as license plate illumination.
The T10 wedge format is broadly interchangeable across many vehicle makes and models, though fitment in any specific socket depends on the physical housing and retention design of that vehicle's lamp assembly.
