Ford Escape Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The H8 bulb is the front fog light specification for the Ford Escape across the 2021-2023 model years, and also applies to the 2020 model year when equipped with projector headlamps. It is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen bulb with a PGJ19-1 base, rated at 12V and 35W.
• The 2020 Ford Escape without projector headlamps uses the 7440 bulb instead of the H8. The 7440 is an ANSI-standard single-filament wedge bulb in the T20 form factor, rated at 12V and 21W, and is not interchangeable with the H8 due to differences in base type and wattage.
• The 5202 bulb is specified for the front fog lights across the 2007-2012 model years, making it the most consistently used fog light bulb across a single continuous span in these specifications. It is an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb with a PG20-3 base, rated at 12V and 24W.
• The 2007 model year carries two listed fog light bulb sizes: the 5202 and the 9145. These two bulbs use different base types, PG20-3 and PY20d respectively, and are not interchangeable with each other.
• The 9145 bulb applies to the 2005-2006 model years and shares the 2007 listing alongside the 5202. It is an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb with a PY20d base, rated at 12V and 42W.
• The 2018 Ford Escape front fog light specification varies by headlamp configuration. The H11 bulb is listed for vehicles with HID headlamps, while the 7440 applies to those without projector headlamps. The H11 operates at 12V and 55W, significantly higher wattage than the 7440 at 21W.
• For the 2001-2004 model years, the front fog light bulb specification depends on whether the vehicle has a socket assembly. The 898 bulb, an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen with a PGJ13 base rated at 12V and 37.5W, is listed for vehicles with a socket assembly, while the H1 applies to those without one.
• The H1 bulb, listed for the 2001-2004 Ford Escape without a socket assembly, is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen with a P14.5s base, rated at 12V and 55W. It holds approval in the US, Europe, and Japan, giving it broader regulatory recognition than most other bulbs in these specifications.
• All bulb types listed across these specifications are single-filament designs, meaning each bulb serves one lighting function rather than combining multiple functions within a single unit.
• The base types across these specifications are not interchangeable. The PGJ19-1 (H8), PGJ19-2 (H11), PG20-3 (5202), PY20d (9145), PGJ13 (898), and P14.5s (H1) are each physically distinct, and substituting one bulb type for another without confirming housing compatibility would result in an improper fit.
