How to replace turn signal bulb for Honda Civic (FK, FN)

Model years: 2006 - 2011
Car turn signals or blinkers are blinking lights, located at the front and rear corners of the body. Driver decides when to turn on these lights in order to alert others, that the vehicle is about to end constant movement and start a maneuver. It's crucial to operate turn signals properly, in order to admonish other drivers and keep away from accidents. Because of this, all turn lamp bulbs should be operating without problems. For the most part, the grounds for an unproductive turn indicator is an exhausted bulb, that the driver is able to notice straight off: every time driver actuates turn signal, indicator's blinking frequency in fascia will be increased, even though only one bulb has burned out.

The life-time of a bulb is limited. Sooner or later, it will burn out and will have to be replaced. Bulbs, made of high quality materials, tend to last longer. It's recommended to use well known brand replacement bulbs.

If bulb burns out right after installation, your vehicle might have a problem inside electrical system - have it checked by auto electrician.
