PRODUCT DETAILS
Honda 07-15 Civic Headlight Bulb Seal - 33126-SNA-A01
Your headlight housing's got moisture inside or you're replacing your headlight bulbs and the old rubber seal's cracked? Part number 33126-SNA-A01. This is the OEM rubber seal that goes around your headlight bulb where it plugs into the back of your headlight housing. The seal keeps water, dirt, and road spray from getting inside your headlight. When the seal's old and cracked, you're getting condensation and moisture buildup inside your headlight lens. You'll see water droplets or fog on the inside of the lens. That moisture corrodes your bulb sockets, kills your bulbs early, and makes your headlights look like garbage. Fresh seal keeps the water out and your headlights clear.
Here's Why These Seals Always Fail
The headlight bulb seal sits on the back of your headlight housing in the engine bay getting cooked by engine heat and baked by the sun. The rubber gets hard and brittle over time. Eventually it cracks or shrinks and doesn't seal anymore. When you're changing your headlight bulbs, that old seal usually tears or falls apart when you pull the bulb out. Most people just jam the new bulb in without replacing the seal. Then they're wondering why there's moisture in their headlight a week later. The seal's cheap - a couple bucks. Just replace it when you're doing bulbs and you won't have moisture problems.
Sold Individually, Check How Many You Need
These seals are sold individually. Each headlight bulb's got its own seal. If you've got a car with separate high beam and low beam bulbs, that's two seals per side, four seals total for both headlights. If your car's got a single dual-filament bulb per side, that's one seal per side, two seals total. Check your specific vehicle to see how many bulbs you've got and order enough seals. Don't order two seals and find out you needed four.
Replace Them When Doing Headlight Bulbs
If you're changing your headlight bulbs, replace these seals while you're in there. Don't reuse old dried-out rubber seals that've been on the car for ten years. They won't seal properly. The seal's there to keep moisture out of your headlight housing. Without a good seal, water gets in every time it rains or you wash your car. That water fogs up your lens, corrodes your bulb socket, and rusts out your reflector. A two dollar seal prevents a hundred dollar headlight housing replacement. If you've already got moisture in your headlights and you're trying to fix it, replacing these seals is step one. Pull the bulbs, let the housing dry out, install new seals with your bulbs, and your moisture problem's solved.

Note: For 2012-2015 Civic models, this seal only fits the high beam bulb location, not the low beam. Check your headlight bulb configuration before ordering. When you're installing the seal, make sure it's seated properly around the bulb base. The seal should fit snug around the bulb with no gaps. If it's loose or doesn't fit right, you've got the wrong seal. Push the seal all the way into the headlight housing opening. It should sit flush with no part of the seal sticking out. When you plug the bulb in, the seal compresses and creates a tight water seal. Don't force the bulb in if the seal's not seated right - you'll tear the seal or crack the bulb. If you're fighting with it, pull the bulb back out and reseat the seal. When you're done installing the bulb and seal, check that the seal's sitting flat all the way around the bulb. Any gaps or folds in the seal will let water in. If you've got moisture in your headlights right now, replacing the seals'll fix it as long as your headlight housing doesn't have cracks or broken tabs. Pull the bulbs, leave the headlight covers off for a day or two to let everything dry out completely. Install new seals with your bulbs and button it up. The moisture problem should be gone. If you're still getting moisture after replacing the seals, your headlight housing's probably cracked and needs to be replaced.
