Additional Notes

The H21W is the bulb type specified for the Volvo XC40 rear dome light across the 2021-2022 model years.
The H21W operates at 12 volts and 21 watts, classifying it as a single-filament bulb intended for signalling applications.
It uses a BAY9s base, which is an offset bayonet fitting. The asymmetric pin placement of the BAY9s base prevents incorrect installation of the bulb.
The H21W is governed by ECE standards, meaning it is designed for compliance with European and international regulations rather than SAE standards used in North American markets.
Due to the ECE-specific BAY9s base, the H21W is not directly interchangeable with common North American single-filament bulbs such as the 1156, which uses a BA15s base.
