Additional Notes

The BMW X4 fog light specifications reference two distinct bulb types across its model years: the H7 and the H8, both operating on a 12V system and both classified under the ECE standard, which governs lighting equipment across Europe and numerous other markets worldwide.
The H8 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 35W and fitted with a PGJ19-1 base. It is the specified fog light bulb for the BMW X4 across the 2015-2018 model years.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 55W and fitted with a PX26d base. It is specified for the 2021 model year, drawing notably more wattage than the H8 used in earlier years.
The PGJ19-1 base of the H8 and the PX26d base of the H7 are physically incompatible with each other, meaning the two bulb types are not interchangeable despite both being single-filament halogen units operating at 12V.
The H7 carries approval for use in the United States and Japan in addition to ECE-regulated markets, while the H8 holds US approval alongside its ECE certification but is not listed as approved in Japan.
The wattage difference between the two bulb types is significant: the H7 operates at 55W compared to the H8's 35W, which reflects a difference in luminous output and electrical load on the vehicle's fog light circuit.
