This page covers bulb sizes for the 1996 Honda Prelude and is organized by lighting position so you can quickly verify the correct fit before ordering. Whether you are replacing a headlight, interior lamp, or exterior signal bulb, checking the bulb location first helps avoid mix-ups between similar-looking parts.

The 1996 Prelude used several different bulb types across the cabin and exterior, and some positions can vary by trim, market, or body style. Use this guide to match each light on the car with the listed bulb size, including high beam, parking light, map light, license plate light, brake light, and more.

For best results, compare the bulb in your car before buying, especially if your Prelude has an option package, a different market specification, or a lighting setup that has been modified over time. Halogen bulbs and LED replacements are not always direct swaps, and aftermarket conversions may require additional adapters, resistors, or housings to work correctly. If a bulb has been changed before, the installed part may not match the original specification, so checking the existing bulb and the socket style is a smart final step before purchase.
