Guide overview

Before you begin

Driving with a burnt-out headlight at night can be dangerous and against local laws and regulations. If your 2013 Honda Civic has a burnt-out headlight, this guide will walk you through how to replace the bulb. When changing the bulb, avoid touching it with bare hands. The oil from your hands can cause hotspots on the bulb and can lead to premature burnout or failure. Also, make sure the vehicle is turned off before you begin. Changing the bulb in a Honda Civic is relatively simple and you’ll be back on the road again in no time! This guide applies to all Honda Civics in the 9th generation, from 2012-2015.
