Additional Notes

The H8 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts and 35 watts, built to the ECE standard used across Europe and internationally, with approval also extended to the United States market.
The H8 bulb uses a PGJ19-1 base, a proprietary locking base type that is not interchangeable with other common halogen bases such as H11 or H9, despite those bulbs sharing a similar physical appearance.
The Chevrolet Captiva Sport uses the H8 bulb size for its front fog lights across the 2012-2015 model years.
The PGJ19-1 base family includes several wattage variants, such as the H8 at 35W, the H9 at 65W, and the H11 at 55W. Although these share the same base family designation, they are not rated as interchangeable due to differing wattage and intended circuit loads.
At 35 watts, the H8 is the lowest-wattage member of the PGJ19-1 base group, a factor relevant to fog light applications where lower heat output and controlled beam spread are typical design priorities.
