Additional Notes

The Ford Ranger front fog light uses four distinct bulb types across its model history: H11, 9145, 9006, and H3, all of which are single-filament halogen bulbs operating at 12 volts.
The H11 bulb follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, carries a PGJ19-2 base, and is rated at 55W. It fits the Ford Ranger (2019-2023) front fog light position.
The 9145 bulb follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada, carries a PY20d base, and is rated at 42W, making it the lowest wattage among the four bulb types in these specifications.
The 9006 bulb also follows the ANSI standard, carries a P22d base, and is rated at 55W. It fits the 1998-2000 model years.
The H3 bulb follows the ECE standard and holds approval in the US and Japan in addition to Europe. It carries a PK22s base and is rated at 55W, fitting the 1993-1997 model years.
Each of the four bulb types uses a different base configuration, meaning none of them are directly interchangeable with one another despite sharing the same 12-volt operating voltage.
The H11 and 9006 share the same 55W rating, as do the H3, yet their base types differ entirely, which prevents cross-substitution without an adapter or socket modification.
The 9145, used across the 2001-2004 and 2008-2011 model years, draws less power at 42W compared to the 55W bulbs used in earlier and later Ranger generations.
The H11 carries dual regulatory approval under both ECE and US standards, while the H3 holds approval under ECE, US, and Japanese standards, giving both broader market availability than the ANSI-only 9145 and 9006 types.
The base type is a critical fitment factor across all four bulb types in these specifications, as PGJ19-2, PY20d, P22d, and PK22s are physically distinct and correspond to specific socket housings in the vehicle.
