Kia Sorento Fog Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 881 bulb is the most frequently listed front fog light size across the Kia Sorento specifications, appearing across the 2003-2009 and 2018 model years.
• The 881 follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 27W, fitted with a PGJ13 base.
• The 2018 Kia Sorento lists two front fog light sizes, the 881 and the H8, indicating that fitment varies depending on the specific vehicle configuration for that year.
• The H8 follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, though it also carries approval for use in the US. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 35W, fitted with a PGJ19-1 base.
• The 881 and H8 bulbs are not interchangeable. Their base types differ, with the 881 using a PGJ13 base and the H8 using a PGJ19-1 base, meaning each requires a socket designed for that specific fitting.
• The 2020 Kia Sorento specifies a 9006 bulb for the front fog light, but only on trims equipped with projector headlamps. This conditional fitment note indicates the fog light size is tied to the headlamp system installed on the vehicle.
• The 9006 follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W, fitted with a P22d base, making it the highest-wattage fog light bulb listed in these specifications.
• The 9006 and 881 are not interchangeable despite both being ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulbs. They use different base types and operate at different wattages, 55W and 27W respectively.
• The 2006 model year carries two 881 entries for the front fog light, one of which is noted as applying to vehicles produced up to June 20, 2006, reflecting a mid-year production distinction within that model year.
