Honda Fit Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Honda Fit uses two distinct front fog light bulb types across its model years: the H8 for 2015-2020 and the H11 for 2007-2012.
• Both the H8 and H11 are single-filament halogen bulbs operating on a 12-volt system, making them standard low-power halogen designs rather than dual-filament or high-intensity discharge types.
• The H8 carries a 35-watt rating, while the H11 is rated at 55 watts, meaning the two bulbs draw meaningfully different amounts of power and are not electrically interchangeable without consideration of the vehicle's wiring and fuse ratings.
• The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base and the H11 uses a PGJ19-2 base. Although these two bases share the same PGJ19 family designation, the differing suffix numbers indicate physically distinct locking positions, which prevents direct cross-substitution between the two types.
• Both bulb types conform to ECE standards, a regulatory framework used across Europe and much of the world, and both also carry approval for use in the United States.
• The Honda Fit (2015-2020) front fog light position requires the H8 specifically. Substituting an H11 in this application would be incorrect due to the base incompatibility described above.
• The single-filament design of both bulbs means each serves only one lighting function, as opposed to dual-filament bulbs that can handle two functions such as low and high beam within a single housing.
