Additional Notes

The Honda Element front fog light uses the H3 bulb size across all listed model years, spanning 2003-2006.
The H3 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains one tungsten filament and produces light through the halogen cycle, which redeposits evaporated tungsten back onto the filament to extend its operational life.
H3 bulbs are fitted with a PK22s base, a pin-type connector where the single pin is centered beneath the bulb cap rather than positioned at the side as in some other halogen bases.
The H3 operates at 12 volts and 55 watts, which are standard ratings for halogen fog lighting in passenger vehicles of this class.
The H3 carries ECE certification, the regulatory standard governing lighting equipment across Europe and many other markets worldwide, and it also holds approval in the United States and Japan.
Because the PK22s base is specific to the H3 family, bulbs with different base types are not directly interchangeable with the Honda Element front fog light socket without modification.
