Additional Notes

The Kia Rio front fog light specifications reference three distinct bulb types across its model years: the 9006, 881, and 880.
All three bulb types are ANSI-standardized for the US and Canadian markets and operate on a 12-volt electrical system.
The 9006 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 55W with a P22d base, making it the highest-wattage fog light bulb listed in these specifications.
The 881 and 880 are both single-filament halogen bulbs rated at 27W, though they differ in base type: the 881 uses a PGJ13 base while the 880 uses a PG13 base.
Because the 881 and 880 share the same wattage and voltage but carry different base types, they are not interchangeable with each other despite their similar electrical ratings.
The Kia Rio (2019-2020 and 2023) front fog light position uses the 9006 bulb, while model years 2006-2011 use the 881.
The 2002 Kia Rio front fog light takes the 880 bulb, with fitment applying to vehicles produced from July 1, 2002 onward, indicating a mid-year specification that does not apply to all 2002 production units.
The 9006 bulb's P22d base is a wedge-style locking connector, which differs structurally from the PGJ13 and PG13 bases used by the 881 and 880, making cross-generation substitution physically incompatible.
