Additional Notes

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, measured in eighths of an inch, while the W2.1x9.5d base describes a wedge-type connection with no separate metal contacts, relying instead on the glass envelope's pinched base to make electrical contact.
The Suzuki AN400 Burgman uses the 12961 bulb for its license plate light across the 2008-2009 model years. This single bulb type covers both listed years without variation.
The W2.1x9.5d wedge base is a standardized fitting widely used in low-current automotive auxiliary lighting positions such as license plate, interior, and side marker applications. Its tool-free push-and-pull installation is a characteristic of the wedge base design.
At 5 watts on a 12-volt circuit, the 12961 draws approximately 0.42 amperes. This low power draw is typical for a license plate position, which is a continuously illuminated auxiliary light when the headlights are active.
The T10 wedge form factor is shared by a broad range of aftermarket and OEM-equivalent bulbs from multiple manufacturers, meaning the 12961 Philips part number is interchangeable with other T10 W2.1x9.5d 12V 5W bulbs that conform to the same base and voltage specifications.
