Additional Notes

The Suzuki Motorcycle DL650A V-Strom XT ABS uses the 12821 bulb for its license plate position across the 2015-2018 model years.
The 12821 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor, operating at 12 volts and rated at 5 watts.
The T10 designation refers to the bulb's tubular envelope, with the number indicating a width of 10 millimeters across the glass.
The base type is W2.1x9.5d, a wedge-style base that relies on the tension of the socket contacts rather than a bayonet or screw mechanism to hold the bulb in place.
The W2.1x9.5d base is a standardized wedge specification, meaning fitment depends on both the wedge width and the pin spacing of the socket rather than the bulb envelope size alone.
Substituting a bulb with a physically similar T10 envelope but a different base configuration risks an improper fit or electrical incompatibility in the license plate socket.
