Honda CR-V Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Honda CR-V front fog light specifications reference four distinct bulb types across model years: H8, H11, 9006, and H3, all of which are single-filament halogen bulbs operating at 12 volts.
• The H11 is the most frequently specified bulb across the Honda CR-V fog light data, covering the 2002-2010, 2012-2014 model years as well as 2003 and 2004, and carries a 55W power rating with a PGJ19-2 base under the ECE standard.
• The H8 bulb is specified for the Honda CR-V from 2015-2022, with the exception of 2020, and is rated at a lower 35W compared to the 55W output of the H11 it replaced in earlier model years.
• Although the H8 and H11 are both ECE-standard halogen bulbs approved for use in the United States, they are not interchangeable. The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base while the H11 uses a PGJ19-2 base, making the socket fitment physically different between the two types.
• The 9006 bulb, specified for the 2005-2006 model years, follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada rather than the ECE standard, and features a P22d base that is not compatible with the PGJ19-series bases found on H8 or H11 bulbs.
• The H3 bulb, specified for the 1997 model year, uses a PK22s base and holds approval under ECE, US, and Japanese standards, distinguishing it from the other bulb types in these specifications which carry no noted Japanese approval.
• The H3, 9006, and H11 all share a 55W power rating, yet their base types differ entirely, meaning wattage alone is not a reliable indicator of fitment compatibility across these specifications.
• A transition in bulb type occurs between the 2014 and 2015 model years on the Honda CR-V, where the front fog light specification shifts from the H11 to the lower-wattage H8, reflecting a change in socket design that makes bulbs from either side of that boundary non-interchangeable.
