This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 8th generation (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, & 2011) Honda Civic in replacing the brake light, turn signal / parking light, reverse and rear side marker bulbs in the tail light assembly.
Owners of other Honda or Acura vehicles such as the Accord, Crosstour, CR-V, CR-Z, Element, Fit, Insight, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, RL, TL. TSX, ZDX, MDX, and RDX may also find these instructions to be helpful.
Replacement light bulbs from Sylvania and other manufacturers have the following part numbers: Brake Light # 7443, Rear Turn Signal # 7440A (992), Reverse Light # 7440, and Rear Side Marker Light # 168.
The only tool needed to replace any of the tail light bulbs is a flathead screwdriver.
Behind the trunk's carpet liner, you'll be able to see the four light bulb sockets for the tail light assembly.
The top one is the brake (stop) light. The brake light is part number 7443.
The socket closest to the center line of the vehicle is the reverse or "back up" bulb. The replacement part is 7440.
In the center of the lower row is the turn signal light bulb, which is an amber colored # 7440Abulb.
Closest to the outer edge of the vehicle is the rear side marker bulb.
To remove any of the light bulb sockets, grasp it by the base and rotate it 1/4 turn counter clockwise before pulling it straight out of the assembly.
To remove the light bulb from the socket, pull it straight out.
If it won't come out easily, try wiggling the bulb while pulling it out.
Test the new tail light bulb(s) by having someone step on the brakes, put on the hazard signals or put the transmission in reverse.
Then replace the trunk carpet liner, re-insert the plastic screw rivets and tighten the screws with the screwdriver.
You can usually just easily push the plastic screws into place with your finger.
