Additional Notes

The Toyota RAV4 luggage compartment uses three distinct bulb types across its model years: the 12961, the 168, and the DE3022.
The 168 is an ANSI-standardized miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 4.9W, and it serves as the luggage compartment bulb for the RAV4 across the 2016-2020 model years.
The T10 wedge form factor is shared by both the 168 and the 12961, meaning both occupy the same physical bulb category, though they carry different designations and wattage ratings.
The 12961 is a Philips-assigned part number rather than an ANSI industry code, and it specifies a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base, rated at 12V and 5W. It is the designated luggage compartment bulb for the 2021 RAV4.
The W2.1x9.5d base designation on the 12961 describes a wedge-type base where the bulb pins are held in place by the socket walls rather than by a bayonet or screw mechanism.
The DE3022 is an ANSI-standardized festoon bulb with a 31mm length and end-cap contacts, rated at 12V. It is the luggage compartment bulb for the RAV4 across the 2006-2015 model years.
Festoon bulbs such as the DE3022 make contact at both ends of the bulb body rather than through a base socket, which is a fundamentally different mounting and contact method from the wedge-style 168 and 12961.
Because the DE3022 festoon and the 168 wedge use incompatible socket types, the two bulb families are not interchangeable despite both operating at 12V.
The 168 and the 12961 share the T10 wedge form factor and near-identical wattage, but the 12961 carries a manufacturer-specific designation rather than a universal ANSI code, which can affect cross-brand substitution.
The RAV4 luggage compartment transitioned from the festoon DE3022 format to the wedge-style 168 between the 2015 and 2016 model years, reflecting a socket-type change between those generations.
