Honda Accord 1996 Bulb Size

Bulb size chart

This page helps you find the correct bulb sizes for the 1996 Honda Accord by lighting position, so you can match the right part to the right socket. Whether you are replacing a headlight, a tail lamp, or a small interior bulb, checking the bulb chart by location is the easiest way to avoid buying the wrong size.

The 1996 Honda Accord was offered in different body styles and lighting setups, so some bulb positions vary by coupe, wagon, and market. Use the listings below to verify each bulb before you order, especially if your car has been modified or if you are replacing a bulb that was already changed by a previous owner.

For best fitment, compare the bulb in your vehicle with the chart before purchase, since trim level and lighting package can change the correct size. This is especially important when choosing between halogen and LED replacements, because an LED bulb may fit physically but still need the right base style, polarity, or load handling to work correctly. Aftermarket conversions can also affect beam pattern and warning behavior, so it is smart to check the installed bulb, the socket, and the lens clearance before buying a replacement.
