Additional Notes

The Polaris 500 Classic Touring uses the 921 bulb across its 2001-2003 model years for the brake light position.
The 921 is a wedge-base bulb, meaning it is held in place by the friction of its plastic base rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism, which is a common design in automotive and powersports lighting sockets.
The T15 designation refers to the bulb's tubular envelope size, where 15 indicates a width of 15/8 inches, making it a relatively compact form factor suited to tight housing spaces.
The 921 operates at 12 volts and 16 watts, placing it in a moderate output range typical of single-filament stop light applications.
As an ANSI-standardized bulb recognized in both the United States and Canada, the 921 follows a defined specification for electrical and physical characteristics, which supports consistent cross-brand fitment within that standard.
The single filament construction of the 921 means it serves a dedicated function; in the context of the Polaris 500 Classic Touring, this is the brake light circuit rather than a combined stop/tail arrangement.
