Additional Notes

The Yamaha MT-07 uses the 12961 bulb for the license plate light across the 2018-2021 model years.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a T10 miniature wedge bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base.
The T10 form factor is a small tubular bulb widely used in low-intensity automotive lighting positions such as license plate, courtesy, and instrument panel applications.
The W2.1x9.5d base designation describes a wedge-type connector where the bulb's glass envelope itself acts as the retention mechanism, requiring no separate metal base or locking collar.
The bulb operates at 12 volts and consumes 5 watts, which is consistent with a low-draw auxiliary lighting role.
Because the 12961 is a Philips-assigned part number, equivalent bulbs from other manufacturers are typically cross-referenced by the T10 form factor and W2.1x9.5d base rather than by this specific number.
