Additional Notes

The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, operating at 12 volts with a 5-watt output and fitted with a W2.1x9.5d base.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge-type connector, meaning the bulb is held in place by tension from the socket rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular shape, with the number indicating a width of 10 eighths of an inch, making it one of the smaller miniature bulb formats used in automotive and motorcycle lighting.
The Suzuki Motorcycle AN650 Burgman uses the 12961 bulb for its license plate light across the 2003-2009 and 2013-2015 model years.
The consistent use of a single bulb specification across all listed model years indicates that the license plate light socket and electrical requirements remained unchanged throughout those periods.
The T10 wedge format is widely shared across many vehicle makes and models, which means the 12961 or equivalent T10 5W bulbs from other manufacturers are generally interchangeable, provided the W2.1x9.5d base type is matched precisely.
At 5 watts, the 12961 is a low-output incandescent bulb, a wattage typical of license plate and courtesy lighting applications where illumination intensity requirements are minimal.
