Additional Notes

The 12821 is the sole license plate bulb type specified across all listed model years of the Suzuki Motorcycle DR650S, covering 2007-2009 and 2011-2019.
The 12821 is a Philips part number designating a T10 miniature wedge bulb, a form factor widely used in low-intensity automotive lighting applications such as license plate illumination.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, placing it in the low-wattage range typical of indicator and auxiliary lighting rather than primary illumination.
The T10 bulb uses a W2.1x9.5d base, a wedge-type connection that relies on the bulb's glass envelope pressing against metal contacts rather than a separate pin or bayonet fitting.
Because the W2.1x9.5d base is a wedge design, the bulb is inserted and removed by pushing and pulling directly, without rotation.
The 12821 designation is specific to Philips and may correspond to equivalent bulbs sold under different part numbers by other manufacturers, provided the T10 form factor, W2.1x9.5d base, 12V rating, and 5W rating are matched.
The consistency of the 12821 specification across the full span of listed years indicates that the DR650S license plate housing was not revised in a way that altered bulb fitment requirements during that period.
