The 880 / 881 bulb is a single-beam automotive fog light bulb using a PG13 plastic L-shaped base with O-ring seal and ¼-turn locking mechanism. Originally designed as a 27W halogen bulb (~12.8V system) producing approximately 300–700 lumens at ~3200K warm white, it is commonly installed in bumper-mounted fog lights and auxiliary lamps across GM, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, and other passenger vehicles.
- Halogen Output: ~300–700 lumens
- LED Upgrade Output: 2000–6000 lumens per pair
- Halogen Color: ~3200K warm white
- LED Options: 3000K yellow / 6000K white
- Current Draw (27W): ~2.1A
- Current Draw (37.5W): ~2.9A
- LED Draw: Significantly reduced vs halogen
LED fog lights provide faster illumination response, improved beam clarity, and reduced heat buildup inside fog housings.
This Underground Lighting collection upgrades standard 880 halogen and 881 halogen (27W or 37.5W variants) to high-efficiency LED 880 / 881 replacements and plug-and-play fog light kits using CSP LED chips and high-power 40W LED arrays. Compared to filament bulbs, LED upgrades deliver 2000–6000 lumens per pair, cooler operation, reduced current draw, and a modern 6000K white or 3000K selective yellow beam optimized for adverse weather conditions.
All bulbs retain the PG13 base geometry, ensuring direct fitment in OEM fog lamp housings without modification.
Products in This 880 / 881 Collection
1. 880 LED Fog Light Bulbs – 2000LM CSP Chips (PAIR)
- Output: ~2000 lumens per pair
- Color temperature: 6000K white
- LED type: CSP (Chip-Scale Package)
- Voltage: 12V automotive
- Base: PG13 (880-compatible)
- Application: Fog light / DRL
Designed for reflector-style fog housings, these CSP LEDs replicate filament positioning to maintain proper beam dispersion while increasing brightness over stock halogen.
2. 881 LED Fog Light Bulbs – 2000LM CSP Chips (PAIR)
- Output: ~2000 lumens per pair
- Color options: 6000K white / 3000K yellow
- LED type: CSP
- Base: PG13 (881-compatible)
- Direct plug-and-play
The 3000K yellow variant improves contrast and reduces glare in fog, rain, and snow conditions due to longer wavelength light penetration.
3. 880 / 881 40W 6000LM PNP LED Headlight Fog Light DRL Kit (PAIR)
- Power rating: 40W total system
- Output: ~6000 lumens per pair
- Color temperature: 6000K white
- Plug-and-play wiring
- Integrated driver for stable voltage regulation
This high-output LED kit significantly increases close-range visibility compared to 27W halogen bulbs while maintaining OEM socket compatibility.
Both bulbs share the same physical connector and O-ring sealing system. However, 37.5W 881 halogen variants draw ~2.9A, which may stress factory wiring if housing is rated for 27W only.
LED replacements reduce draw to approximately 3–8W equivalent while increasing luminous output.
Housing Compatibility & Beam Considerations
880 / 881 bulbs are primarily used in:
- Reflector fog lamp housings
- Shallow parabolic bumper-mounted lamps
- Auxiliary off-road housings
Beam pattern is determined by the housing reflector geometry, not solely by the bulb. Properly aligned CSP LEDs maintain more accurate beam focus than oversized multi-sided LED towers.
Common Compatible Vehicles, Installation & Sealing Design
880 / 881 fog light bulbs are frequently found in:
- GM trucks and SUVs
- Ford F-Series and crossovers
- Honda and Hyundai passenger cars
- Toyota sedans and SUVs
Always verify PG13 base compatibility before ordering.
- ¼-turn push-lock PG13 base
- Integrated O-ring prevents moisture ingress
- Plug-and-play harness connection
- No metal flange (plastic sealed base)
Proper O-ring seating is critical to prevent condensation inside fog lamp assemblies.
