Honda Prelude Light Bulb Sizes

What bulb does a Honda Prelude use? The bulb size you need for your Honda Prelude vehicle depends on the installation position, year of production, and even trim level. Browse the Honda Prelude light bulb charts below to find the bulb part number for headlights (low or high beam), Daytime Running lights (DRL), fog lights, brake lights, tail lights, and many other applications. The charts provide data separately for front and rear positions. One of the most common questions is “What headlight bulb do I need?”.

We also have you covered whether your Honda Prelude is powered by halogen, LED, or HID technology. The same is true if your vehicle is equipped with a projector of reflector headlights.

How do I know what headlight bulb I need? Scroll down to the low beam or high beam headlights chart, find your year of manufacture and see the lamp size in the “part number” column.
