Volkswagen Golf SportWagen front fog light uses H11 bulb size and rear fog light uses 7440 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 2015 to 2019 model years with bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Volkswagen Golf SportWagen front fog light uses the H11 bulb across the 2015-2019 model years.
The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 55W, built to the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, and also approved for use in the United States.
The H11 bulb uses a PGJ19-2 base, a locking bayonet-style connector that is not interchangeable with other common halogen bases such as H9 or H8, despite those bulbs sharing a physically similar housing shape.
The rear fog light on the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen uses the 7440 bulb for the 2015-2018 model years.
The 7440 is a single-filament wedge bulb of the T20 form factor, rated at 12V and 21W, and follows the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada.
The T20 wedge base of the 7440 is not compatible with the dual-filament 7443 bulb, as the 7443 carries a second filament and a different internal pin configuration, making the two non-interchangeable despite their outward similarity.
The front fog light H11 at 55W draws significantly more power than the rear fog light 7440 at 21W, reflecting the different functional roles of forward illumination versus rearward visibility signaling.
The 2019 model year is represented only in the front fog light specifications, with no rear fog light entry listed for that year.
