Additional Notes

The 881 bulb is the most frequently specified front fog light bulb across the Hyundai Elantra data, appearing in the 2007, 2008, and 2013-2016 model years. It follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada, operates at 12V and 27W, and uses a PGJ13 base with a single filament.
The H3 bulb covers the 1999-2002 model years and part of 2003. It is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen bulb with a PK22s base, rated at 12V and 55W, and holds approval in the US and Japan in addition to European and worldwide markets.
The 2018 Hyundai Elantra front fog light uses an H7 bulb, which differs from all other years in the dataset. The H7 is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen bulb with a PX26d base, rated at 12V and 55W, and is also approved in the US and Japan.
The H3 and H7 bulbs share the same 12V, 55W electrical rating, yet they use different base types, PK22s and PX26d respectively, making them physically non-interchangeable despite identical wattage.
The 9006 bulb, an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen with a P22d base rated at 12V and 55W, applies only to 2003 Elantra units produced from July 1, 2003 onward, while units produced before that date in the same model year used the H3.
The 2003 model year contains a mid-year bulb change, with H3 specified for production up to July 1, 2003, and 9006 specified from that date forward. These two bulbs carry the same wattage but use different base types and standards, so they are not interchangeable.
The 881 operates at 27W, which is notably lower than the 55W rating shared by the H3, H7, and 9006 bulbs. This difference in power draw is relevant when considering socket and wiring compatibility during any replacement.
The 2001 and 2002 model years each contain two H3 entries with overlapping date qualifiers, indicating production variants within those years that nonetheless share the same bulb specification.
