How the 2016 compares with nearby years
Against the 2015 Civic: the low-beam bulb changed (HB4 in 2015 vs H11 in 2016). The high-beam bulb is the same in both manuals.
Against the 2017 Civic: The low-beam bulb and high-beam bulb are the same in both manuals.
The H11 low-beam bulb appears in every Civic manual from 2016 to 2021 that this site has read (6 model years).
The 2016 Civic belongs to the 10th gen (FC/FK), which began with the 2016 model year (Hatchback from 2017; MY2019 refresh); generation dates. Parts often carry over within a generation, but the manual for your exact model year is the one to trust.
Shared with other 2016 models
- HB3 (high beam headlight): 4 other 2016 models list it, including Honda CR-V, Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder.
- H11 (low beam headlight): 19 other 2016 models list it, including Chevrolet Trax, Ford Escape, Ford F-150, Ford Transit, Honda CR-V, Honda Odyssey.
- H8 (fog light): 3 other 2016 models list it, including Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V, Honda Pilot.
A shared number means the same replacement part fits both cars, so one spare can cover two cars in the household.
What the manual does not print
The 2016 Honda Civic owner's manual does not list wipers, battery and filters sizes; for the battery, read the label on the battery fitted to the car, then check the size against the BCI group chart; for wipers, measure each blade end to end and buy the nearest whole-inch size.
3 positions are listed as LED in this manual. LED lamps have no separate replacement bulb; the lamp assembly is replaced.
Buying the parts for a 2016 Civic
- Headlight bulbs: the H11 low beam and the HB3 high beam are halogen capsules on trims that have them; buy them in pairs so both sides match in colour and output.
- Small bulbs: this manual names 3 replaceable bulb positions. Wedge bulbs such as W5W and 194 differ from twist-socket bulbs such as 7443 or 3157, so match the full number, including suffixes like NA (amber).
Check it on your car
Trim, engine and lighting package change some of these parts, so match the row that names your engine or trim. The facts on this page come from 5 pages of the manual (500, 506, 508, 511, 513). Before you buy, compare the number printed on the old part with the table above. See how this site reads manuals.
