Additional Notes

The H8 bulb is the most widely specified front fog light bulb across the Hyundai Tucson lineup, appearing in model years 2016-2021 as the sole or primary fitment. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 35W, built to the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, and carries approval for use in the United States as well. Its base type is PGJ19-1.
The 880 bulb is an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 27W, fitted with a PG13 base. It served as the front fog light specification for the Hyundai Tucson across model years 2010-2014, and also appeared as one of two valid fitments for the 2017 model year.
The 881 bulb shares the same 12V, 27W rating as the 880 and is likewise governed by the ANSI standard. It differs in base type, using a PGJ13 rather than the PG13 found on the 880. The 881 was the specified front fog light bulb for the Tucson from 2005-2009.
The 880 and 881 bulbs carry identical voltage and wattage ratings but use different base types, PG13 and PGJ13 respectively. These bases are physically distinct and not interchangeable, meaning a bulb of one type cannot be substituted for the other without a socket adapter or modification.
The H8 and 880 bulbs are not interchangeable. Beyond the difference in wattage (35W versus 27W), their base types (PGJ19-1 and PG13) are incompatible with each other's sockets.
The 2017 Hyundai Tucson carries two listed front fog light specifications, H8 and 880, indicating that vehicles of that year may have been produced with either fitment depending on the specific unit.
The 2015 Hyundai Tucson similarly lists two front fog light specifications. The 880 applies to units produced before April 10, 2015, while the H8 applies to those produced from that date onward, reflecting a mid-year production change.
