The KYMCO Downtown 200i uses H8 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 2012 to 2013 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H8 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts and 35 watts, fitted with a PGJ19-1 base. It follows the ECE standard, which is the regulatory framework governing lighting equipment across Europe and many other markets worldwide, and it also carries approval for use in the United States.
The KYMCO Downtown 200i uses the H8 bulb for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2012-2013 model years.
Because the high beam and low beam positions share the same H8 specification, both functions are handled by separate single-filament bulbs rather than a dual-filament unit. Each position requires its own individual bulb.
The PGJ19-1 base is a indexed bayonet-style fitting specific to lower-wattage ECE halogen bulbs. It is not interchangeable with the physically similar PGJ19-2 or PGJ19-3 bases, which are used by the H11 and H9 bulbs respectively, despite those bulbs sharing the same general family of connectors.
At 35 watts, the H8 produces a lower output than the more common H11, which is rated at 55 watts. This wattage difference reflects a deliberate design choice for the circuit and housing in which the H8 is specified, and substituting a higher-wattage bulb risks overloading the socket and wiring.
