In the 2017 Honda Civic lineup, including both sedan and coupe bodies, the exact headlight configuration depends on the chosen trim and regional specifications. This article outlines the typical configurations found in common U.S. market trims and explains how to verify the exact setup for a specific car.

  • LX: Halogen reflector headlights

  • EX: Projector-type halogen headlights

  • EX-T: Projector-type halogen headlights

  • EX-L Navi: LED headlights

  • Touring: LED headlights

Regional and trim variations


Headlight setups can vary by market and model year, so exact equipment may differ from one car to another. Always check the original window sticker, owner’s manual, or a VIN-specific build sheet to confirm the headlight type for a particular vehicle.


In summary, the 2017 Civic generally transitions from halogen headlights on the base models to LED headlights on higher-end trims, with projector halogen headlights appearing on mid-level trims. The precise configuration should be verified for the exact car in question.
