There isn’t a single universal headlight part number for every 2010 Honda Accord. The correct number depends on the car’s body style (sedan or coupe), trim, and whether you need the full headlight assembly or just the bulbs.
Why the part number varies
Headlight part numbers are assigned to specific assemblies and configurations. To identify the right number, consider the following factors:
- Body style: sedan vs coupe (these often use different housings).
- Left vs right side: parts are designated for each side.
- Assembly vs components: full headlight unit vs bulbs, ballast, or internal components.
- Trim level and market: LX, EX, EX-L, and whether the car is a hybrid or special edition can influence the exact part.
- Lighting type: standard halogen vs HID/LED versions, which use different assemblies.
Knowing these variables helps you avoid ordering the wrong part and speeds up the replacement process.
How to locate the exact part number for your car
Follow these steps to verify the correct headlight part number for your specific 2010 Accord model:
- Check the original part number on your current headlight assembly. Many assemblies have a stamped or label ID on the back or bottom edge.
- Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) to pull up the exact parts catalog entry from a Honda dealership or official parts retailer.
- Use a Honda parts catalog online using your car’s body style, trim, and year to compare options for left and right assemblies and for different lighting configurations.
- If you’re replacing just bulbs or non-assembly components, confirm the bulb type (for example, H11, 9005, 9006, etc.) and any ballast or socket requirements for HID setups.
- Call or visit a dealership or trusted parts retailer with your VIN to confirm the exact part number and availability.
Having the VIN handy and confirming with a live parts specialist will ensure you get the exact match for your 2010 Accord.
Notes on compatibility and purchasing options
OEM headlight assemblies from Honda are designed to match original fit and beam pattern. Aftermarket or third-party headlights may fit but could alter the light pattern or fit. Always verify compatibility with your specific car’s trim and region, as some markets used different headlights for the same model year.
In most cases, you’ll end up with one of a handful of assembly part numbers, with separate numbers for left and right sides and for sedan vs coupe. Verifying with VIN or a parts specialist minimizes the risk of ordering the wrong unit.
Summary
The 2010 Honda Accord does not have a single universal headlight part number. The right number depends on body style, side, trim, and whether you need the full assembly or just a bulb or component. Use the VIN, inspect your current headlight, or contact a Honda dealer or parts retailer to confirm the exact part number for your specific car. Always verify before purchasing to ensure proper fit and compliance with regional lighting standards.
