Additional Notes

The 921 bulb is an ANSI-standard wedge-type unit in the T15 form factor, rated at 12 volts and 16 watts. It is the brake bulb specified for the Polaris XLT across the 1994-1997 model years.
The 90 bulb is an ANSI-standard single-filament unit with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12 volts and 13 watts. It is specified for the 1992-1993 model years.
A BA15s bayonet base, as found on the 90 bulb, uses a single locating pin on the base collar to seat and lock the bulb into its socket. This differs from the wedge-type seating mechanism of the 921, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable.
The 921 and 90 bulbs share the same 12-volt operating voltage, but the 921 draws 16 watts while the 90 draws 13 watts. Substituting one for the other would alter the wattage load on the circuit.
Both bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, indicating standardized electrical and physical tolerances within those markets.
