Hyundai Kona Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The front fog light of the Hyundai Kona uses two distinct bulb types across its model years: the H8 for 2018-2021 and the 9006 for 2022-2023. These two bulbs are not interchangeable, as they differ in base type, wattage, and regulatory standard.
• The H8 is governed by the ECE standard, which applies across Europe and most international markets, though it also carries approval for use in the United States. It operates on a 12V circuit at 35W and uses a PGJ19-1 base with a single filament.
• The 9006 follows the ANSI standard applicable in the United States and Canada. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W, fitted with a P22d base. Its wattage is notably higher than that of the H8.
• Because the 9006 and H8 differ in both base configuration and wattage draw, a bulb specified for 2018-2021 Kona front fog lights is physically and electrically incompatible with the 2022-2023 fitment, and vice versa.
• The rear fog light of the Hyundai Kona uses the 12088, which is a Sylvania OEM part number corresponding to the ANSI 1156 bulb. It is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 21W.
• The BA15s bayonet base of the 1156/12088 is a widely used automotive base type, but it is distinct from both the PGJ19-1 base of the H8 and the P22d base of the 9006, making the rear fog bulb a separate fitment category from either front fog bulb.
• At 35W, the H8 draws significantly less power than the 9006 at 55W. This difference is relevant when considering aftermarket or LED replacement options, as the load on the vehicle's electrical circuit varies between the two front fog fitments depending on model year.
• The single-filament design shared by all three bulb types in these specifications means each bulb serves one lighting function only, with no secondary filament for a combined role such as a stop and tail configuration.
