Fitment notes

For the 1988 Honda Civic, the supplied fitment data lists a 9005 bulb for the high-beam headlight. No low-beam bulb is listed in the available data, so verify the original low-beam bulb and headlamp assembly before ordering a replacement. No fog-light bulb fitment is provided.

Other notable exterior lighting uses include 1156 bulbs for the front and rear turn signals and reverse lights. The brake and tail lights use 2057R, while the center stop light uses 921.

  • License plate lighting: 194 or 7441
  • Parking lights: 168 or 917
  • Front and rear side markers: 168NA
  • Instrument lighting: compare the original bulb; the listed options are 158 and 2721
  • Dome light: DE3022; trunk light: DE3021

Because several locations have more than one listed option, compare the removed bulb, socket, and lamp housing before purchasing.
