The main headlights on a 2010 Honda Civic typically use H11 bulbs for the low beams and 9005 bulbs for the high beams. If your Civic has fog lights, those bulbs vary by trim and market, so always confirm with the owner's manual or the existing bulb.
This explainer covers the common setup for the 2010 Civic (tenth generation), including sedan and coupe bodies. Some trims and regions may differ, and fog lights, if equipped, use separate bulbs.
Headlight bulb sizes by function
The following sizes apply to the Civic's primary headlights (low and high beams) for most models in the U.S. and many other markets.
- Low beam headlight: H11
- High beam headlight: 9005
Note: Fog lights, if equipped, use separate bulbs and can vary by trim and region. Check your manual or the bulb label on the housing to confirm.
How to verify the exact bulb size for your Civic
The steps below help you confirm the correct bulb size for your particular car and market before purchasing replacements.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the door jamb sticker for the specified bulb type.
- Remove the old bulb and compare the base and size to replacement bulbs at an auto parts store.
- If in doubt, contact a Honda dealer with your VIN or trim code to verify the exact bulb type.
Bottom line: For most 2010 Civics, the primary headlights use H11 for low beams and 9005 for high beams. If your car has fog lights or a non-US variant, sizes may differ; always verify with documentation or the dealer.
Summary
The 2010 Honda Civic commonly uses H11 low-beam bulbs and 9005 high-beam bulbs for the main headlights. Confirm the exact sizes for your trim and market via the owner's manual or a trusted parts retailer, especially if your car has fog lights or is a non-US variant.
