Additional Notes

The two bulb types listed across these specifications are the 881 and H8, both single-filament halogen bulbs operating at 12 volts. The 881 draws 27 watts, while the H8 draws 35 watts, meaning the two are not electrically equivalent despite sharing a similar application.
The 881 uses a PGJ13 base and is governed by ANSI standards, making it the format associated with the US and Canadian markets. The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base and follows ECE standards, the regulatory framework used across Europe and much of the world, though it also carries US approval.
Because the 881 and H8 use different base types, PGJ13 and PGJ19-1 respectively, they are not physically interchangeable. A socket designed for one will not accept the other.
The Hyundai Elantra Coupe carried both the 881 and H8 as listed front fog light sizes for the 2013 model year, indicating that production units were fitted with either bulb depending on the market for which the vehicle was built.
For the 2014 model year, the 881 specification applies to earlier production, while the H8 specification is noted as applying from October 28, 2013, reflecting a mid-production-year change in the front fog light fitment.
