In this video, I’ll show you how to change the rear light bulbs step by step, including the brake light, turn signal, reverse light, and third brake light. This tutorial is demonstrated on a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan, but I’ll also explain some of the differences for the Honda Civic Coupe. The basic removal process is similar, although some bulb types and the tail light assembly differ between the sedan and coupe. 🔧 What You'll Learn ✔ How to remove the Honda Civic tail light assembly ✔ How to replace the brake light bulb ✔ How to access the turn signal and reverse light bulbs ✔ How to remove the electrical connectors and bulb sockets ✔ Which rear light is a non-replaceable LED ✔ How to reinstall the tail light assembly correctly ✔ How to replace the center third brake light bulb ✔ Differences between Civic Sedan and Coupe tail lights 💡 2018 Honda Civic Brake Light Bulb On the 2018 Honda Civic Sedan, the replaceable brake light shown in this video uses a 7440 clear wedge-style bulb. Always verify the correct bulb for your exact year, body style, trim level, and light position before ordering replacement bulbs. 🛠️ Removing the Tail Light Assembly To access the bulbs, open the trunk and remove the two fasteners along the edge of the tail light assembly. A socket can be used, or a Phillips screwdriver may also work depending on the fastener. The assembly is still held in place by two retaining clips, so gently pull the tail light straight outward from the side of the trunk to release them. Once the assembly is removed, you'll have access to the replaceable bulbs and their sockets. ⚠️ Important LED Tail Light Information Not every light inside the assembly uses a replaceable bulb. The Honda Civic also has an integrated LED light in the tail light assembly. If that LED section fails, the individual LED isn't replaced like a conventional bulb. The appropriate tail light assembly may need to be replaced instead. 🚨 Third Brake Light Replacement I'll also show you how to replace the center third brake light located inside the trunk. Disconnect the electrical connector, rotate the socket counterclockwise, and remove the bulb. On the sedan and coupe covered in this tutorial, the third brake light uses a 7440 wedge-style bulb. 🚘 Vehicle Used 2018 Honda Civic Sedan – 10th Generation This information may also be useful for other 10th-generation Honda Civic models, but bulb types and tail light assemblies can vary between model years, trim levels, sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks. 👍 Easy Honda Civic DIY Repair Replacing a burned-out Honda Civic brake light or tail light bulb is a straightforward DIY repair that you can handle yourself even if you don't have much automotive repair experience.
