Acura NSX 1996 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This 1996 Acura NSX bulb guide helps you verify the correct bulb size by lighting position, so you can match the right part before you buy. Use it to check exterior and interior lamps one by one, from the headlights and tail lights to small cabin and dash bulbs.
Because the NSX could vary by trim, market, and lighting package, the bulb used in one position may not be the same on every car. This page organizes the available bulb chart rows for the 1996 Acura NSX so you can quickly confirm fitment for the exact lamp you are replacing.
For best results, compare the bulb listed here with the one already installed in your car before ordering, especially if your NSX has been modified or converted to aftermarket lighting. Trim differences, package differences, and regional equipment can change fitment, and LED upgrades may require different bulbs or additional parts even when the base bulb size is the same. If you are replacing halogen bulbs with LED replacements, check beam pattern, polarity, and any warning issues before installation. When in doubt, remove the old bulb and match the number stamped on the base or glass to avoid buying the wrong part.
