Hyundai Azera Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The H8 bulb is the most frequently listed front fog light specification across the Hyundai Azera model range, appearing as an option for every year from 2006 through 2017.
• The H8 operates at 12V and 35W, follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, and uses a PGJ19-1 base. Despite its European origin, it carries US approval as well.
• The 9006 bulb operates at 12V and 55W, follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada, and uses a P22d base. Its wattage rating is 20W higher than the H8, meaning it draws more power under operation.
• The PGJ19-1 base of the H8 and the P22d base of the 9006 are physically different, making the two bulb types non-interchangeable without a compatible socket.
• For the 2017 Hyundai Azera, the 9006 fitment is noted with a cutoff of 12/8/2016, while the H8 applies to vehicles produced after that date, indicating a mid-production-year change in fog light specification.
• A similar production-date split is recorded for the 2015 model year, where the 9006 applies from 10/2/2014, and for the 2010 model year, where the 9006 applies to vehicles produced up to 3/1/2010 and the H8 applies from 12/15/2009.
• The overlapping date ranges in the 2010 model year suggest a transitional period during which both bulb types were in use on vehicles assembled within the same production window.
• For model years 2006-2009 and 2016, both the H8 and 9006 are listed without production-date qualifiers, indicating that fitment verification against the specific vehicle is necessary before installation.
