Additional Notes

The H8 is the front fog light bulb type used across all listed model years of the Honda HR-V, spanning 2016-2022.
The H8 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 service life.
H8 bulbs operate at 12 volts and draw 35 watts, placing them in the lower wattage range typical of fog lighting applications.
The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base, which is a specific bayonet-style connector. Bulbs from the H8 family share similar base designs with the H9 and H11, but they are not interchangeable due to differences in wattage and tab positioning on the base.
The H8 conforms to ECE regulations, the lighting standard used across Europe and much of the world, and also carries approval for use in the United States.
The 2019-2020 Honda HR-V front fog light specifications carry a "With Halogen Capsule Headlamps" qualifier, indicating that the H8 fog light fitment applies specifically to trims equipped with that headlamp configuration in those years.
