brake light bulb replacement 2013 honda civic 4 dr sedan

Back up and turn signals on my 2013 Honda Civic 4 dr sedan are simple twist and insert bulb procedures. The brake light is different. Not clear how it is removed and replace.

Is this a good question?

Hi @edessex13 ,

Here’s an image taken from p.291 of the owner manual for the vehicle.

It appears that the brake/taillight bulb comes out the same way as the turn and back up bulbs. Rotate the socket to the left to remove it from the housing and then pull out the bulb.

Perhaps the brake light socket is just stiff and it may need a bit more of an effort.

The brake lights on your 2012 Honda Civic illuminate when you hit the brake pedal and help prevent you from being rear ended by the cars behind you. Brake light bulbs grow dimmer over time and eventually burn out. This video shows you how to change the brake lights on your 2012 Honda Civic. When you replace the brake light bulb on your Civic, be careful not to touch the bulb directly with your fingers - the oil from your skin will cause the area that you touched to burn hotter than the rest of the bulb, which causes the bulb to burn out quicker.

If you are going to replace a bulb in your cluster, it is a good idea to replace all of them. Not only will the lights on your Civic be brighter, you decrease the likelihood you will need to change any of the bulbs again in the near future. A burnt out bulb in the taillight cluster of your Civic is an excuse for a police officer to pull you over. Check your bulbs frequently and change burnt bulbs promptly.
