Additional Notes

The Polaris 650 RXL uses two distinct brake bulb types across its model years: the 921 for 1994-1997 and the 90 for 1990-1993.
The 921 is a T15 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 16W, conforming to ANSI standards applicable in the US and Canada.
The T15 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the number indicating its width in eighths of an inch. The wedge base requires no separate metal base, as the glass envelope itself forms the electrical contact.
The 90 is a single-filament bulb rated at 12V and 13W, also conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canada.
The 90 bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact bayonet fitting where the "s" denotes a single contact point at the base center.
The 921 draws 16W compared to the 90's 13W, meaning the later 1994-1997 models operate the brake circuit at a higher wattage output.
The 921 and 90 use fundamentally different base types, wedge versus bayonet, making them physically non-interchangeable despite sharing the same 12V operating voltage.
