H8 Headlight Bulbs Philips

H8 is most often used in fog lights. The exact bulb type is determined by the marking on the base of the old bulb or the vehicle manual; the year of manufacture or VIN is often not enough. If the marking is not visible, send us a photo of the old bulb and the headlight — we’ll help identify the base.

Halogen H8, H9, and H11 bulbs have a similar connector, but different flange tabs and different wattage, so they are not interchangeable without checking. Niken Eco-series and Pro-series LED kits are made for all three H8/H9/H11 bases.

Both kits include 2 bulbs with built-in drivers, 8000 lm and 6500 K according to the manufacturer. Eco-series has a power of 40 W and a 7500 rpm fan, while Pro-series has 32 W and an 8500 rpm fan.

It depends on the vehicle: in some cars, the lower current draw of an LED bulb causes an error or the bulb flickers. For this, there is a LED Canbus adapter H8/9/11 (40W), 2 pcs per set.

Philips 12360 and GE 53090 halogen bulbs are sold individually, while Niken LED kits come as a pair. It is best to replace both at once so the light on the left and right is the same in brightness and shade.

The Niken LED bulb has a heatsink with a fan and is longer than a halogen bulb. Before buying, check the space behind the headlight or under its cover and how the bulb locks into place.
