The 2010 Honda Civic’s main headlights typically use a 9006 low-beam bulb and a 9005 high-beam bulb. If your model has factory HID headlights, the main beams will not use these standard halogen bulbs. Fog lights, when equipped, commonly use H11.
The 2010 Civic spans several trims and markets, and bulb configurations can vary. This article outlines the common halogen setup for US-market Civics of that year and notes exceptions for HID and region-specific models.
Common bulb configurations by function
Here are the bulbs most often found in 2010 Civics with halogen headlights. Always verify on your exact vehicle by checking the existing bulb or the owner’s manual.
- Low beam: 9006 (HB4)
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
- Fog light: H11
On Civics equipped with HID headlights, the main beams are not replaceable with standard halogen bulbs (they use ballast-based HID bulbs). Always confirm the headlight type before purchasing replacements.
Variations by trim and region
Bulb sizes can differ for non-US markets and some special trims. If you’re unsure, remove the current bulb to check its part number, or consult the owner’s manual or a dealer to confirm the exact specification for your VIN.
Replacement tips
When handling halogen bulbs, avoid touching the glass with bare skin, use gloves or a clean cloth, and ensure the electrical system is powered down before replacing the bulb to prevent shocks or shorts.
Summary: For a 2010 Honda Civic with typical halogen headlights, use 9006 low-beam bulbs and 9005 high-beam bulbs, with H11 for fog lights on many trims. HID-equipped models diverge from these sizes, so verify on your specific vehicle.
