Hyundai Genesis Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The H8 and 9006 are both single-filament halogen bulbs operating at 12 volts, though they differ in wattage and base type. The H8 draws 35 watts and uses a PGJ19-1 base, while the 9006 draws 55 watts and uses a P22d base. These differences make the two types physically and electrically incompatible with each other.
• The H8 follows the ECE standard, which governs lighting equipment across Europe and much of the world, though it also carries approval for use in the United States. The 9006 follows the ANSI standard, which applies to the US and Canada.
• The Hyundai Genesis front fog light used either an H8 or a 9006 depending on the production period. Both types appear across the 2009-2014 model years, indicating that the vehicle was built with different fog light assemblies during this span.
• For the 2011 Genesis, the 9006 applied to units produced before June 3, 2011, while the H8 applied to units produced from that date onward. Selecting the wrong bulb type for a given production date would result in a fitment failure.
• A similar split is recorded for 2010 and 2009, where both the H8 and 9006 are listed without a specified cutoff date, indicating that production variants with different fog light housings existed within each of those model years.
• The 2014 Genesis entry includes an H8 listing restricted to units produced up to March 5, 2014, alongside a general H8 entry. The 2012 and 2013 model years list only the H8, with no production-date qualifications noted.
• Because the H8 and 9006 use different base configurations, a bulb intended for one housing type cannot be seated into the other. Confirming the production date of a 2009-2011 Genesis is necessary before selecting a replacement fog light bulb.
