What headlights are in a 2016 Honda Civic?

The 2016 Honda Civic, part of the ninth generation, uses different headlight configurations depending on trim. In brief, base LX models use halogen headlights, mid-range trims use projector-style halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights, and the top Touring trim switches to full LED headlights.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the headlight setup by trim for US-market Civics, with notes on design and lighting features that accompanied the different levels.

Headlight configurations by trim

Trim-specific headlight types are listed below to reflect typical US-spec configurations for 2016 Civics.

Concluding note: If you’re targeting LED headlights, you’ll want the Touring trim or verify the exact build, as some late-year options or regional packages could vary. Always check the vehicle’s VIN or owner’s manual for the precise headlight configuration on a given car.

Additional notes on lighting features

Across the 2016 Civic lineup, daytime running lights (DRLs) and projector-style design were common on higher trims, while the base LX used simpler halogen setups. LED headlights on the Touring trim were part of Honda’s effort to offer improved nighttime visibility and energy efficiency on the top-tier model.
