Additional Notes

The 912 is the cargo box bulb size for the Subaru Outback across the 2021-2022 model years.
The 912 bulb follows the ANSI standard, meaning it meets the electrical and dimensional specifications defined by the American National Standards Institute for use in the US and Canadian markets.
It uses a wedge-style base, designated T15, which refers to a tubular bulb body approximately 15/8 of an inch wide that seats by friction rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism.
The 912 operates at 12 volts and 12 watts, placing it in the lower wattage range typical of interior and cargo lighting applications.
The 912 is a variant of the 921 bulb. Both share the same T15 wedge base and 12-volt rating, but the 921 draws 16.8 watts, making the two bulbs electrically distinct despite their physical similarity.
