Hi @annasmith55441, the link to the bulb listed at the top of the guide under parts is the correct type for a 2016-2021 Honda Civic. There are a couple of links to choose from depending on the features you need from the bulb. If you're concerned that these bulbs won't work for your car, Amazon has a feature to check the compatibility of the bulbs with your specific car make and model at the top of bulb page link. I hope this helps!
