Additional Notes

The H8 is the front fog light bulb type specified for the Kawasaki VN1700 Vulcan 1700 Vaquero across the 2015-2019 model years.
The H8 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains one tungsten filament and produces light through the halogen cycle, which redeposits evaporated tungsten back onto the filament to extend its operational life.
The H8 operates at 12 volts and 35 watts, a relatively low wattage consistent with fog light applications where controlled, close-range beam spread is prioritized over long-distance projection.
The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base, which is a proprietary locking connector type. Bulbs with different base designations are not physically interchangeable with this socket, even if their wattage or voltage ratings are similar.
The H8 is rated under ECE standards, the regulatory framework used across Europe and much of the world, and also carries approval for use in the United States, making it a dual-market compatible bulb.
The H8 shares its PGJ19-1 base family with several related bulb types, including the H9 and H11, but these variants differ in wattage and lumen output. Substituting them in place of the H8 would result in a mismatch with the vehicle's intended electrical load for this application.
