Additional Notes

The H8 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts and 35 watts, built to the ECE standard recognized across Europe and worldwide, with approval also extended to the United States market.
The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base, a pin-type connector specific to the H8 and not shared with several other H-series bulbs, which makes fitment precision important when sourcing a replacement.
The Arctic Cat Bearcat 2000 uses the H8 bulb for its high beam headlight across the 2015-2018 model years.
Because the H8 is a single-filament bulb, it handles only one lighting function per unit, meaning the high beam circuit relies entirely on this bulb with no secondary filament as a fallback.
The PGJ19-1 base family includes several visually similar bulbs such as the H9 and H11, but those variants differ in wattage and are not interchangeable with the H8 despite sharing a related base design.
