The KYMCO MXU 450i headlight bulb uses an H8 size for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2012 to 2018 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 KYMCO MXU 450i uses the H8 bulb type for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2012-2018 model years.
The H8 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains one tungsten filament and relies on a halogen gas cycle to sustain brightness and extend filament life compared to standard incandescent bulbs.
H8 bulbs operate at 12 volts and 35 watts, placing them in the lower wattage range of the standard halogen family.
The H8 uses a PGJ19-1 base, which is a proprietary locking connector type not shared with more common bases such as H4 or H7, making cross-family substitution incompatible without modification.
The H8 standard falls under ECE regulations, which govern lighting equipment across Europe and many other markets worldwide, and the bulb also carries approval for use in the United States.
Because the MXU 450i uses the same H8 specification for both the high beam and low beam positions, each position still requires a dedicated bulb rather than a single dual-function unit.
