Additional Notes

The H8 bulb follows the ECE standard and operates at 12V with a 35W output. It uses a PGJ19-1 base and contains a single filament. Though originally a European specification, it carries US approval as well.
The 881 bulb follows the ANSI standard, which is common in the US and Canada. It operates at 12V with a 27W output and uses a PGJ13 base. Like the H8, it is a single-filament halogen bulb, though it draws notably less wattage.
The H8 and 881 bulbs use different base types, PGJ19-1 and PGJ13 respectively, making them physically non-interchangeable despite both being single-filament halogen bulbs rated at 12V.
For the Hyundai Veloster, front fog light bulb fitment across 2013-2017 depends on whether the vehicle is equipped with projector-type headlamps. Projector-equipped trims take the H8, while non-projector trims take the 881.
The Sport trim of the Veloster does not follow a single consistent fitment across all years. It uses the H8 in 2013-2015, but shifts to the 881 in 2016-2017, indicating a trim-level specification change between those model years.
The 2012 Veloster specifications do not reference a projector-type headlamp condition for the standard fitment, listing the 881 as the base front fog light bulb, alongside the H8 for the Sport trim.
