Additional Notes

The H8 bulb follows the ECE standard and operates at 12V and 35W with a single filament and PGJ19-1 base. It is the front fog light bulb for the Hyundai Santa Fe across the 2013-2020 model years, with the 2019-2020 entries specifying halogen capsule headlamp fitment as a condition.
The 881 bulb follows the ANSI standard and operates at 12V and 27W with a single filament and PGJ13 base. It served as the front fog light bulb for the Santa Fe from 2007-2011 and into part of the 2012 model year.
The 880 bulb also follows the ANSI standard at 12V and 27W with a single filament, but carries a PG13 base rather than the PGJ13 base of the 881. Despite sharing voltage and wattage ratings, the differing base types mean the 880 and 881 are not interchangeable.
The H3 bulb follows the ECE standard and operates at 12V and 55W with a single filament and PK22s base. At 55W, it draws notably more power than the 880, 881, and H8 bulbs used in later model years.
The 2012 model year carries a mid-year bulb change, with the 881 specified through July 31, 2012, and the H8 specified from June 26, 2012. The overlapping dates indicate a transitional production window during which either bulb may have been installed at the factory.
A similar production-date split applies to the 2006 model year, where the 880 was used before May 25, 2006, and the 881 was introduced from that date onward. The 2002 model year reflects an earlier transition, with the H3 used through November 13, 2001, and the 880 fitted from that date forward.
The base type is a critical fitment factor across these specifications. The PGJ19-1 base of the H8, the PGJ13 base of the 881, the PG13 base of the 880, and the PK22s base of the H3 are each physically distinct and not cross-compatible.
The front fog light specification for the Hyundai Santa Fe spans three different ANSI bulb types and two ECE bulb types across its production history, reflecting both regional standard shifts and mid-year manufacturing changes that affect part selection by production date.
